Dog Peak, Mountain summit in Accursed Mountains, Kosovo and Montenegro
Dog Peak rises to approximately 2400 meters in the Accursed Mountains and offers views across both countries from its position in this mountain range. The surroundings feature rocky slopes and alpine terrain that provide distant vistas in clear weather.
The mountain has marked the natural border between the two countries since the early 2000s as they developed separately. The slopes have served as an important part of regional geography and connection lines between communities on both sides for generations.
Local communities on both sides of the border practice traditional shepherding in the mountain pastures surrounding the peak during summer months.
The ascent requires mountaineering experience and suitable equipment for alpine terrain with variable conditions. The route takes many hours from below, so start early in the day and watch for sudden weather changes.
The area contains several underground caves formed by glacial activity that create a network of natural structures beneath the surface. These hidden chambers influence how water and snow behave in this high mountain zone.
