From Lička Plješivica you may enjoy the view of the whole Lika, Velebit, Krbavsko Polje and the mountains of the neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Its peak Ozeblin (1657m) lies in the southwest. We find the most interesting peak to be Gola Plješivica 1648 m in the northwest side of the mountain range.
