Biodiversity
Vegetation is sparse, although in the southern and southwestern slopes, oak and hazel are grown in abundance. Other parts of the mountain have limited vegetation, including elk, gorse, ash and sedge. The area provides lush summer pastures where mountain tea and other medicinal plants are cultivated.[3]
