Zeljava - underground army base and airport



There is question about owning Zeljava, between RH and BIH, there isn't any sign that base Zeljava interests NATO or that it will be open for civil air traffic. This site is result of my visit to mystic Zeljava in March 2007


Zeljava placed on the border with BIH, you can come from main road. Air base and airport are build for cold war needs. At leaving 1992 JNA Army blew Zeljeva with dynamite. Today base is abandon

On the enter in army base Zeljava planes greets you, like symbol for all that is waiting for us there...we weren't move around the planes, cause mines are everywhere, so if you decide to go there, we will say .."be aware of mines" there are plenty..The old EX Army carried by old principle "destroy everything you can't take with you". The Army destroyed the hole underground airport in Pljesivica. This place isn't still clean from mines, so you can not know what will happen next
We entered in army base Zeljava with jeep and drive one round using the main road...base look like abandon base what can you expect...HR army protects the base Zeljeva but on our luck no one saw us...So our recommendation is do not enter the base
do not enter the base Zeljava, cause army or border police can charge you with some registration. better spend money on lamb...
When my friend told me he wants to enter in Zeljava with his Nissan, I told him:"you are not normal"..enter in tunnels is possible with terrain car (partol), but you can not pass through all tunnels..when you make one round all the dust is in the air...drive slowly and carefully and .TAKE CARE OF HOLES IN THE FLOOR take care of holes in the floor they are everywhere
This is not set up.....mr Nick Cave never sound better......the acoustics in tunnel is amazing and ideal for all kind of concerts...you must be there to realize it nor the word or video can describe the fulness...
Nick Cave in the cave...very nice...
video recording in tunnels is possible only appropriate video equipment, the author of this material couldn't record to much......
drive through base Zeljava, only one round
this video is work of jeep owner and we thank him on this courage, will and strength to work all this trip.
