Maybe you know maybe not, but Croatia, besides beautiful nature and stunning coast line with more than 1000 islands, hides pretty dark history.

As one of former Yugoslavian countries Croatia had one of the strongest millitary presence in the world, ruled by marshal TITO.

In this part of my travel journey through Croatia I'm exploring Top secret place of former Yugoslavian army and one of true hidden gems of Croatia, Zeljava Air Base, the largest underground millitary facility in Europe.

Take a look at the following video to hear the dark story of Zeljava Air Base and see how my journey went.

In this video as well, hidden viewpoint of Plitvice Lakes to enjoy in stunning panoramic view on Big Lake while being away from crowd and regular tourists visiting this awesome place.
