Snežnik is a wide karst limestone plateau with an area of approximately 85 km² (33 sq mi) in the Dinaric Alps, at its confluence with the Julian Alps. Most of the plateau is in Slovenia, while the southern part extends to Croatia and connects with the mountainous region of Gorski Kotar. Its extension is mostly flat, but it has numerous dry valleys, sinkholes and around 300 caves and wells; the surface is mainly stony, covered with uneven and shallow soil, except for the largest depressions. Its two highest peaks are the Great Mount Snežnik (Veliki Snežnik), at 1,796 m (5,892 ft), and the Little Mount Snežnik (Mali Snežnik), at 1,688 m (5,538 ft), both in Slovenian territory.
