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. 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.[2]
