Peçmara is a summit in northern Albania, rising to an elevation of 2,468 m (8,097 ft) above sea level. It is situated in the southeastern sector of Valbona Valley, in the Accursed Mountains range.[1]
The peak lies south of the settlement of Çukë-Dunishë and northeast of Qetat e Harushës. It forms part of the dramatic alpine landscape that characterizes the Valbona region, known for its steep limestone ridges, deep glacial valleys and sharp mountain saddles.
Maja e Peçmarës is positioned within the Valbona River basin, which drains westward into the Drin River system. The surrounding terrain includes a series of prominent summits and passes that define the southeastern section of the park.[2]
