Maja e Thatë, Mountain summit in Valbonë Valley National Park, Albania
The limestone peak of Maja e Thatë rises 2,406 meters above sea level, featuring steep rock walls and dense forests of beech and pine on its lower slopes.
The mountain formation occurred through tectonic plate movements between African and Eurasian plates, resulting in distinctive Dinaric karst characteristics and glacial remnants.
Local communities in the Albanian Alps incorporate the mountain into their traditional stories, while contemporary artists capture its features in landscape paintings.
Access to the summit requires following marked trails from Valbonë village through Lugu i Rupës or approaching from Vusanje in Montenegro via the Persllopi mountain pass.
The Cave of Haxhia, extending 365 meters into the mountain's southern slopes, contains a cold water spring and provides opportunities for speleological exploration.
