Shkelzeni Peak, Mountain peak in Tropoja, Albania
Located at the border between Kosovo and Albania, Shkelzeni Peak reaches an elevation of 2,404 meters within the Accursed Mountains range.
The summit remained inaccessible to individuals from Kosovo for numerous years due to territorial restrictions between the two neighboring countries.
Local tribes in the region practice traditional sheep herding near the mountain, moving their flocks seasonally according to weather conditions.
Two primary hiking routes lead to the summit: one starting from Gjakova in Kosovo and another from Bajram Curri in Albania through the village of Hoxhaj.
The ascent includes a challenging rocky section between 1,800 and 2,200 meters, where hikers gain significant elevation over steep mountain terrain.
