Geology
Composed entirely of Mesozoic limestone and dolomite, the mountain features a conical shape with steep slopes and is connected to Maja e Sprehtë 1717 m from the east. The southern slope is mostly devoid of vegetation, while the northern slope is covered by dense beech forests.
Settled on the southeastern foothills of the mountain is the village of Razmë, an important tourist attraction, hosting the country's oldest and largest mountain holiday retreats.
