Maja Jezercë, Mountain summit in Malësi e Madhe, Albania

Jezercë is a bare peak of dolomitic limestone reaching 2,694 m, the highest point of the Accursed Mountains and of the whole Dinaric Alps. North, east and west of the top, glacial cirques cut steep walls; the northern one, Buni i Jezercës, lies at 1,980–2,100 m and drops about 400 m. Almost no vegetation grows on the rock.

British mountaineers Sleeman, Elmalie, and Ellwood reached the summit on July 26, 1929 during the first documented ascent. This expedition marked an important moment in the exploration of the Prokletije range by Western climbers.

The name Jezerca comes from the Slavic word jezero, "lake", after the cirque lakes below Buni i Jezercës on the northern side. Under communist rule the peak was renamed Maja e Rinisë, "Mountain of Youth", a name that never took hold. Climbers today still approach mainly from Gusinje in Montenegro and from Theth.

Access routes from Theth or Valbona are well-traveled, with local guides available to share their knowledge of the paths. The climb is demanding and requires proper footwear plus preparation for changing weather conditions at altitude.
