Junik Mountains



The Junik Mountains (Bjeshkët e Junikut, Juničke Planine), part of the Accursed Mountains, are on the border between Albania and Kosovo. They reach a height of 2280 m. On the Kosovo side is the Dukagjin region, some 8.5 km to the north-west of the Junik commune. Moronica Park, in southwestern Kosovo, marks the beginning of the Junik Mountains. The 1999 Battle of Košare was fought along the slopes of the Junik and Accursed Mountains.
