Korab (Template:Langx, Template:Langx) is a mountain range in eastern Albania and western North Macedonia, running along the border between the two countries. It forms also the European Green Belt. In Albania, it is also called Vargu lindor (Template:Langx), but this term encompasses mountains further north, such as the Koritnik and Gjallica. The highest peak is Mount Korab at Script error: No such module "convert". above sea level.[1] With a prominence of Script error: No such module "convert"., Korab is the 18th most prominent mountain peak in the European continent.[2] The mountains are composed of sedimentary rock, including shale, sandstone, dolomite and limestone. The name refers to a pre-Christian sea god.
Geographically, the Korab mountain range extends Script error: No such module "convert". from the Dibër Valley in a north-south direction, between the river valleys of the Black Drin and its tributary the Radika. It is located near the tripoint of Albania, North Macedonia, and Kosovo, southwest of the Šar Mountains. The Drin Valley lies around Script error: No such module "convert". to the west, the bed of the Radika at about Script error: No such module "convert". above sea level.
The geology of the park is dominated by mountains made up of exposed faulted sedimentary rock and valleys containing glacial lakes.
The Albanian part has numerous high peaks and ranges, almost as tall as the Korab massif. To the north of this double-peak, there are many other nameless peaks of a similar height. Korab-Pforte (Template:Langx, Template:Langx) lies around Script error: No such module "convert". southwest of Korab massif and is almost as tall as the main mountain, at Script error: No such module "convert".. A few hundred meters further south, there are other peaks, Maja e Moravës Script error: No such module "convert". and Mali i Gramës Script error: No such module "convert".. The mountains are composed of shale and limestone. Much of the range is protected by nature parks, a prominent one being the Korab-Koritnik Nature Park.[3][4]
South of the complex of peaks around Mount Korab, there are other large mountains: Mali i Gramës (Script error: No such module "convert".) and Dešat's Velivar summit (Script error: No such module "convert".). After that, the range falls away to the city of Debar and the Debar Lake.[5] The city of Peshkopi is to the southwest of Mali i Gramës and has geothermal baths.
