Pokljuka is a densely wooded tableland in the Eastern Julian Alps. Features of the tableland are also alpine moors (Sijec, Goreljek, and Veliko Blejsko barje). The tableland is situated between the Radovna and Krma valleys to the north and northeast.
The southeastern edge of the tableland has a steep descent towards the Sava Bohinjka River, featuring the Pirašica waterfall and the Mokri Log waterfalls. Extensive charcoal burning to support ironworks in the Bohinj area during the 18th century led to the clearing of massive beech and fir forests. Subsequent reforestation prioritized the spruce, which is now the predominant tree species in this area.
