Qetat e Harushës

Qetat e Harushës is a 2,421-meter-high peak located on the left side of Valbona Valley, within the northern reaches of the Albanian Alps.

Geology

Positioned along the northeastern segment of the Zhaborret ridgeline, between Maja e Peçmarës and Maja e Kurorsës, its steep slopes are dissected by two glacial cirques of the same name, which define the rugged terrain.
The hiking trail to the summit presents no significant technical challenges; however, the northern face of the peak is sharply contoured, offering unobstructed views directly over the valley below.

Biodiversity

Vegetation in the area is relatively abundant. The lower slopes, particularly up to elevations of 900–1,000 meters, are covered with broadleaf forests, dominated by downy oak and sweet chestnut.
