Explore the abandoned military complex of Zeljava Airbase with a local guide. Discover its strategic role during the Cold War and its connection to the fall of Yugoslavia. Wander through massive underground hangars as your guide shares personal stories and employee anecdotes — revealing how rising tensions and the outbreak of war divided colleagues of different nationalities. This tour offers a unique blend of history and adventure.

The tour takes place in all weather conditions because, in the tunnels, we are not affected by rain or high temperatures.

Zeljava Air Base

The tour will start in front of an abandoned airplane Douglas C-47 Skytrain or Dakota. This wonderful piece of aviation history welcomes curious visitors open-winged. We will use this rare opportunity to climb ON the airplane and explore inside. We'll then proceed to the runways. As we drive cautiously on the endless runways, we'll try to imitate and imagine what it felt like for pilots to take off. Driving across runways, we begin to catch views of a plane-shaped hole in the hill. Reaching the entrance of the tunnels, we are in front of the highlight of the tour. While checking the flashlights, we will get to know the basic information about the object and the safety rules that we need to follow. During our 3-kilometer walk through dark tunnels, we will talk about construction, operational days and destruction of the base. We will cover personal stories and experiences of employees, relationships, and conflicts. The tour will end back at the airplane.

This was one of the highlights of our trip! Antonio is a fantastic guide, weaving together history, adventure, and personal stories in the trek through the tunnels. The space was incredible to explore, and if you're a fan of urban exploration, you should definitely check this out. Having a guide also added an element of safety and let us see more of the space.
Absolutely amazing

This tour was the coolest thing we've ever done. Besides the obvious amazing experience of seeing this place, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very nice, and speaking fluent English. It's definitely a must do and we would have never dared to go inside on our own, so thie guided tour is a great option and it's totally worth the money.
Do not miss this tour or imagine you can do it without a guide.

Our guide, Antonio, was a local who obviously knew the underground passageways very well. He told us interesting and technical facts about the different areas but then brought everything to life by adding personal accounts of neighbours and experiences that were significant parts of living near Zeljava when it was operational. He was fantastic!
Great fun 🤩
