Pokljuka is a densely wooded tableland in Eastern Julian Alps (Julijske Alpe). Feaures of the tableland
are also alpine moores (Sijec (picture
above), Goreljek and Veliko Blejsko barje). The tableland is situated between
the Radovna and Krma valley (north
/ northeast).Southeastern edge of the tableland has a steep descent towards
the Sava Bohinjka River (Pirašiški
slap/waterfall, Mokri
Log/waterfalls). Charcoal burning for a support of ironworks in the
Bohinj
area in the 18.th century caused that huge beech tree and fir tree forests
were cut out. Later reforestation gave priority to pine tree, which is
the predominating species of tree in this area. |
