Dešat
The Deshat watershed serves as a dividing line between both countries. The larger section of the massif is located within Albania proper, including the two highest peaks, Velivar 2,372 m (7,782 ft) and Kërçinë 2,342 m (7,684 ft).
Geology
Composed predominantly of flysch and partially of Mesozoic limestone, the massif presents a rugged structure with a combination of scaly and blocky formations. It has an elongated shape, aligned in a nearly north-south orientation, featuring a relatively gentle relief. Its two prominent peaks showcase typical dome-like shapes. The slopes of the mountain bear the marks of glacial cirques, particularly on the eastern side.
Biodiversity
Vegetation on Deshat varies with altitude, encompassing oak forests from 700–1,000 m (2,300–3,300 ft), with beech forests extending up to 1,600–1,700 m (5,200–5,600 ft), and lush alpine meadows rising above 1,700 m (5,600 ft). Additionally, sulfur deposits can be found at the foothills of Kërçinë, in the area known as Kërçisht.
