It is somewhat different from the rest of the North Albanian Alps mountains because of the lack of a stony, limestone [[texture]] the mountains in Albanian have. This makes it much more easier for people to climb it. Many large and small [[glacial lake]]s can be found near the summit. The largest of the lakes is [[Đeravica Lake]] which is just under the summit and is the origin of the [[Erenik]] river. |

It is somewhat different from the rest of the North Albanian Alps mountains because of the lack of a stony, limestone texture the mountains in Albanian have. This makes it much more easier for people to climb it. Many large and small glacial lakes can be found near the summit.
