Overview

Our Plitvice i Željava tour is a perfect combination of not-to-be-missed natural site and a Yugoslav best kept army secret. After only a 2 hour drive in a Yugo, we're entering Plitvice Lakes - Croatia's oldest and most visited national park. We're taking a 2 hours walk (incl. bus and a short boat ride) in the park known for its rich flora, fauna, lakes and countless waterfalls. After the walk, we'll have a lunch break in the park (lunch is not included). In the afternoon, we're continuing (30 minutes drive from Plitvice) to the deserted airbase known as Object 505 or Željava. Here, you'll get a chance to climb up the old Dakota airplane, walk through the tunnels and drive in a Yugo on the runaways where MIGs used to take off!
