Gavni is a summit in the Accursed Mountains of northern Albania. Rising to an elevation of 2,530 m (8,300 ft) above sea level, it forms part of the Zhaborret ridgeline, extending between Valbona Valley and the NikajMërtur highlands.[1]

The summit was formerly known as 16 Tetori, commemorating the birth date of Albanian communist leader, Enver Hoxha.[2]

Gavni is characterized by a rugged alpine relief composed predominantly of Triassic limestone, with steep rocky slopes and sharp ridges. The upper sections are largely barren, offering limited vegetation cover.[3]
