Lika is a mountainous region or plateau, surrounded by mountain ranges; Velebit in the south, Velika Kapela in the west, Mala Kapela in the north and Lička Plješivica in the east. The northern border is quite vague because the Ogulin-Plašćanska valley forms a transitional area between Lika and Gorski Kotar.
Croatian sinkholes, the river Gacka, the river Lika, the river Otuča, the river Krbava, the river Korenica (river) flow through Lika, and the river Una springs in Lika, which flows through its eastern part only in the upper course.
