Dinara is a 100-kilometre-long (60-mile) mountain range in the Dinaric Alps, located on the border of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. It has four major mountains or peaks, from north-west to south-east:[1]

  • Ilica or Ujilica (1,654 m)
  • Sinjal or Dinara (1,831 m), eponym to the range, highest mountain in Croatia
  • Troglav (1,913 m), highest peak in the range
  • Kamešnica, with peak Konj (1,855 m)[2]

Note the dual use of the name Dinara, which is also the origin of the name for the whole Dinaric Alps.[3] The range is composed of limestone and dolomite.[4]
