Dleskovec Plateau

The Dleskovec Plateau (Slovene: Dleskovška planota), probably named after Mount Dleskovec (1,965 metres or 6,447 feet) in its central part, rarely also named the Vestibule (Veža), is a karstified mountain plateau in the eastern part of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps in northern Slovenia.

It covers an area of about 25 square kilometres (9.7 sq mi) and is partly overgrown by forest and Mountain Pine.

The highest point of the plateau is Mount Big Peak (Veliki vrh; 2,110 m or 6,920 ft), also located in its central part.

[1] The relief, formed of Triassic carbonate rocks, is intersected with grooves, grykes, sinkholes, and shafts, the deepest of which has a depth of over 1,000 m (3,300 ft).

The plateau is mostly overgrown by deciduous forest, with predominance of beech (Fagus sylvatica), larch (Larix decidua), and spruce (Picea abies).
