The Dleskovec Plateau (), probably named after Mount Dleskovec () in its central part, rarely also named the Vestibule (), is a karstified mountain plateau in the eastern part of the KamnikâÂÂSavinja Alps in northern Slovenia. It lies between the Roban Valley, the Upper Savinja Valley, and the LuÃÂka Bela Valley, to the southeast of Mount Ojstrica and to the northeast of the Big Pasture Plateau. It is oriented in the direction from the southeast to the northwest. It covers an area of about and is partly overgrown by forest and Mountain Pine. The highest point of the plateau is Mount Big Peak (; ), also located in its central part. Administratively, the Dleskovec Plateau belongs to the settlement of Podveà ¾a in the Municipality of LuÃÂe.
There are several mountain pastures on the plateau. On the southern side, there are Podveà ¾ak Pasture () with a hut, Ravne Pasture, and Vodole Pasture. There is also Planinà ¡ek Farm or Planica, which is the highest-elevation farm on the plateau. On the northern side, the largest is MoliàPasture () with Kocbek Refuge. Above the latter stands a chapel dedicated to Sts. Cyril and Methodius (). VodotoÃÂnik Pasture is situated in the western part. On this pasture, there are a small heart-shaped pond and a shepherd hut. The pond is a bit over long and about deep. Below VodotoÃÂnik Pasture, there is a scree slope. On the slope north of it, there are some hummocky meadows.
The relief, formed of Triassic carbonate rocks, is intersected with grooves, grykes, sinkholes, and shafts, the deepest of which has a depth of over . It has been significantly altered by glaciers in the Pleistocene and by snow. There are almost no streams on the plateau. The climate is Alpine, with the average yearly temperature about 0 ðC, the average winter temperature about âÂÂ7 ðC, and the average summer temperature about 7.5 ðC. The plateau is mostly overgrown by deciduous forest, with predominance of beech (Fagus sylvatica), larch (Larix decidua), and spruce (Picea abies). A forest reserve with an area of is situated at the extreme northwest of the plateau.
