Radohina, Mountain summit in Shkodër, Albania.
Radohina is a mountain summit in the Albanian Alps that rises between the Theth and Cemi i Vuklit valleys. The dome-shaped peak sits among a cluster of high ridges in this rugged region.
The rock layers of Radohina formed during the Mesozoic era and are composed mainly of limestone and dolomite. These minerals shaped the mountain's current profile over millions of years.
The name Radohina is also given to the glacial cirque, or pit, on the massif's southwest side, while the Kllogjen pit lies to the northeast. Shepherds' trails cross the hollows below the summit, and the saddle of Radohina is the point where walkers leave the main path for the final climb.
Climbing here demands mountaineering experience and good physical fitness because of the steep slopes and exposed terrain. Plan your visit for stable weather and bring appropriate climbing gear.
The two flanking peaks are named: Maja e Vishnjës, 2,517 m, to the northeast, and Maja e Thatë, 2,541 m, to the southwest. Both stand lower than the 2,568 m main summit, and the massif's bare limestone and dolomite carry almost no vegetation.
