Shkëlzen

Shkëlzen ( 'Shkëlzeni') is a mountain situated in the Albanian Alps, bounded by the Tropojë river valley to the northeast, the Gashi river valley to the southwest, and the Tropojë basin to the southeast. Its highest of the two peaks, Maja e Shkëlzenit, reaches a height of .

== Geology == Composed primarily of Mesozoic limestone and dolomite, the mountain has an anticlinal structure, with a band of flysch emerging in the north and south. It forms a sharp ridge between the northeastern peak (Shkëlzen) and the southwestern peak of Radesha , marked by steep slopes that descend sharply into the valleys. Two glacial troughs divide the mountain's summit, and both peaks show distinctive pyramid-like shapes with sharp edges. Vegetation is scarce, with shrubs and pines found on its slopes.
