Gjeravica (Albanian indefinite form: Gjeravicë; Ђеравица) is a mountain peak in Kosovo. It also is the second-highest mountain peak in the Accursed Mountains range and the Dinaric Alps range, after Jezercë. It has an elevation of 2656 m above sea level. Gjeravica is in the western part of Kosovo, in the municipality of Junik.

Features

Gjeravica is somewhat different from the rest of the Accursed mountains in its lack of the stony, limestone texture the other mountains in Accursed Mountains have. Many large and small glacial lakes can be found near the summit. The largest of the lakes is Gjeravica Lake, which is just under the summit and is the origin of the Erenik river.

Gjeravica and the Accursed mountains range are rich in the growth of chestnuts, oak, beech and conifers. There are also wild strawberries growing in Gjeravica during the summer.
