Vrtijeljka is a hill near Cetinje, in Montenegro, with the height of 871 m.[1] It is located between the villages of Lipa and Pejakovići.[2] It was the site of a battle between Bajo Pivljanin's band and advancing Ottoman forces of Suleiman, Pasha of Scutari, in 1685.[3]

Currently, there is an unsanitary landfill below the hill, in use since 1987.[4]
