Željava Air Base Runway

Highlight • Structure

Built during the Cold War, this massive Yugoslav military complex was designed to withstand a nuclear attack and housed fighter jets hidden deep inside Mount Plješevica. The base was abandoned and partially destroyed during the 1990s Balkan conflicts.

Željava Air Base Tunnels

Highlight • Structure

I found three exits and some side rooms. A good flashlight is essential, as in all Lost Places there are deep holes and large obstacles.
