The surface area of the entire Municipality of Loška dolina, which has existed in its current extent since 1998, measures 167 km². This is a hilly karst landscape, mostly covered by forest. Paths from the northern side, the slopes of the Bloke Plateau or the Cerknica Plain, lead you through natural passes first into the lower, fairly flat world of Loško polje, where the majority of the settlements are located. The main road leads across a gentle pass towards the south, to the higher-lying Babno Polje with an international border crossing with the Republic of Croatia. The lowland areas of Loško polje and Babno Polje, with altitudes ranging from 570 to 760 m, are surrounded by steep hills and plateaus overgrown with forests and shrubs – Racna gora to the east, Javorniki to the west, and the striking Snežnik at 1,796 metres to the southwest.

More than four-fifths of the Municipality of Loška dolina is covered by vast, predominantly fir-beech forests. It is therefore no surprise that from here, one can venture into the most extensive Slovenian forest of the Snežnik–Javorniki plateau, which continues south into the forests of Gorski kotar and meets the Kočevje forests to the east. This is a true paradise for lovers of pristine nature, but above all, an ideal habitat for numerous animal species.
