Velivar, Mountain summit in northern Albania.
The Velivar peak rises to an elevation of 2369 meters within the Deshat mountain range between Albania and North Macedonia's borders.
The mountain trails around Velivar developed as connecting paths between Albanian and Macedonian communities throughout centuries of cross-border interactions.
Local shepherds maintain seasonal settlements near Velivar's base, continuing traditional pastoral practices that have persisted for generations in these mountains.
The ascent to Velivar begins at Ilnice village, covering 14 kilometers round trip with 1150 meters of elevation gain over a four-hour climb.
From September through October, hikers on Velivar's slopes encounter abundant wild blueberry patches along the mountain trails.
