Jelovica (pronounced [jɛˈlɔːʋitsa]) is a karst plateau in northwestern Slovenia.[1] It is the easternmost part of the Julian Alps and is overgrown by spruce forest.

Partisan Peak (Slovene: Partizanski vrh), located on the southern part of Jelovica, is its highest peak and reaches an elevation of 1,411 metres (4,629 ft). Its northern part has elevations up to 1,100 metres (3,600 ft).

Iron ore was dug in Jelovica in the past. During World War II, Jelovica was a refuge for the Slovene Partisans. Nowadays, it is a protected area as part of the Natura 2000 network.
