Kaptina e Martaneshit (lit. 'Martanesh Crest') is a mountain in the Martanesh Highlands of eastern Albania. Situated along the administrative boundaries of Librazhd, Bulqizë and Klos municipalities, it rises to an elevation of 1,870 m (6,140 ft) above sea level.[1]
The mountain is composed primarily of Paleogene flysch and is distinguished by its pyramidal shape. It forms an important watershed divide separating three major drainage basins: its northeastern slopes flow into the Okshtun stream, a tributary of the Black Drin; its southern slopes drain toward the Rrapun river; and its western slopes descend toward the Mat river basin.[2]
