Gjeravica
The highest peak in Kosovo at 2,656 meters, with a glacial lake below its summit. Climbs usually start from the Deçan valley.
Gjeravica is the highest mountain in Kosovo. It lies west of Deçan in the Accursed Mountains, and a clear glacial lake lies beneath the summit. The climb usually starts from the Deçan valley or from Junik. A four-wheel-drive vehicle takes climbers to the high pastures, then the route continues on foot. It is a full-day trip and quite demanding. The mountains lie close to the border, so a local guide is recommended, and you should check permit requirements in advance.
