Korab (Albanian: Maja e Korabit or Mali i Korabit; Macedonian: Голем Кораб, romanized: Golem Korab, lit. 'Great Korab') is the highest peak of the eponymous mountain range and the fourth-highest mountain located entirely in the Balkan Peninsula, standing at 2,764 metres (9,068 feet).
Situated on the border between the two countries, Korab is the highest peak of both Albania and North Macedonia and is also one of only two summits in Europe to be the highest point for more than one country, the other being Mont Blanc. It is also the 18th most prominent mountain peak in Europe and the third on the Balkan Peninsula.
