Geology

The mountain is composed predominantly of Paleozoic shale and partially of Mesozoic limestone. Its peak features a mild topography, with slopes gradually increasing in steepness, ultimately forming tectonic ridges in the lower portion of the limestone. The northwestern stretch of the mountain, situated between the westward valley of the Black Drin and the two adjacent branches of the Bushtricë and Bicaj valleys, features substantial deposits of colluvial-proluvial materials, arranged in varying degrees of layers, suggesting a potential fluvio-glacial origin, which effectively sets it apart from its surrounding environment.^[2]
