Željava Base Hike&Bike

Explore the intersting area around one of the largest underground airbases in Europe - Željava. Take a walking or a biking tour with locals who will help you discover many interesting things in the vicinity of the former airbase.

At this moment the base is closed to the public, but with a little help from local guides you will discover a number of very interesting spots and activities in the vicinity of the base and the border area.

Support responsible entrepreneurs and owners of local small tourism businesses that promote sustainable economic growth in the villages suffering depopulation and brain drain at worrying levels. The ones that work hard for the community to keep young people in the villages - support accommodation providers, leisure activity providers, food service providers, sightseeing/tours providers, or adventure sports providers. Thank you!
