Maja Jezercë, standing at 2,694 m, is the highest point of the Accursed Mountains and of all Dinaric Alps, and the fifth highest peak in Albania. The range includes the mountain Zla Kolata, which, at 2,534 m, is the tallest mountain in Montenegro. The range also includes the mountain Gjeravica, which, at 2,656 m, is the second tallest mountain in Kosovo. One of the southernmost glacial masses in Europe was discovered in the Albanian part of the range in 2009.
