Geology
Composed almost entirely of shale, with a scaly and blocky structure, the mountain features an elongated shape with a northwest–southeast orientation. It is divided into two sections, the southeastern section, which represents the highest relief, Kulla e Zyberit (2,153 m) and the northwestern section, which descends abruptly into the valley of the Black Drin.[2]
The northern slope of the mountain is modeled by glacial cirques, while the southeastern side drops steeply into the valley of Veleshicë. Its ridge exhibits a neogene erosive surface, resulting in an almost flat relief. The northwestern portion forms a gentle terrain, overly fragmented by erosive-denuding processes, gradually descending towards the Black Drin valley.[3]
