Gjeravica or Đeravica (Albanian: Gjeravica; Serbian Cyrillic: Ђеравица) is the second-highest mountain peak in the Accursed Mountains mountain range and the Dinaric Alps chain, after Maja Jezercë. It is the second-highest[6] mountain in Kosovo,[lower-alpha 1]. It has an elevation of 2,656 m (8,714 ft) above sea level.[1][2][3][4] Gjeravica is in the western part of Kosovo, in the municipality of Junik. Before the 20th century, Gjeravica used to be called Kaluđerovica (Kaluđer means monk in Serbian), because of the Serbian Orthodox Monastery of Peć at the gateway to the mountains.[7]

Features


Gjeravica is somewhat different from the rest of the Accursed mountains in its lack of the stony, limestone texture the other mountains in Accursed Mountains have.[citation needed] Many large and small glacial lakes can be found near the summit. The largest of the lakes is Gjeravica Lake, which is just under the summit and is the origin of the Erenik river.

Gjeravica and the Accursed mountains are mostly known for the growth of chestnuts.[citation needed] There are also wild strawberries growing in Gjeravica during the summer.[citation needed]

Notes


  1. The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, the Republic of Kosovo is formally recognised as an independent state by 97 UN member states (with another 15 states recognising it at some point but then withdrawing their recognition), while Serbia continues to claim Kosovo as a part of its own sovereign territory.
