The Vrlika Ecological Station stands at the base of Mt. Dinara, in the village Ježević. This former school was badly damaged in the Homeland War, and was refurbished in 2009 and transformed into an ecological station. Though initially planned to be an accommodation and education facility only for students of the Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, over time it has proven to be an exceptionally useful facility for similar field courses and for students of other departments at the Faculty of Science.
