Dinara

Dinara is a 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: 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) Note the dual use of the name Dinara, which is also the origin of the name for the whole Dinaric Alps. The range is composed of limestone and dolomite.

== Etymology == The origin of the name is uncertain. It may derive from a forgotten Illyrian tribe name, or it is named after a settlement in or near the region. According to Šišić, the Dinara name resembles the name of the Dindari, an Illyrian tribe that inhabited the western bank of the Drina Valley.thumb|Subdivision of the Dinaric Alps, with the Dinara range shown as B8. thumb|alt=Photograph of the section of the Dinara massif 1500 meters above sea level and up, including the Samograd outcropping, with its foothills and plain, all covered in snow, and a blue sky.|The central Dinara massif as viewed from Suho polje.
