Đeravica


Đeravica or Gjeravica is the second-highest mountain peak in the Prokletije mountain range and the Dinaric Alps chain, after Maja Jezercë. It is the second-highest mountain in Kosovo, or the second-highest mountain of Serbia, according to the Serbian government position over its status. It has an elevation of above sea level. Đeravica is in the western part of Kosovo, in the municipality of Junik. Before the 20th century, Đeravica used to be called Kaluđerovica.

Features

Đeravica is somewhat different from the rest of the Prokletije mountains in its lack of the stony, limestone texture the other mountains in Prokletije have. Many large and small glacial lakes can be found near the summit. The largest of the lakes is Đeravica Lake, which is just under the summit and is the origin of the Erenik river.
Đeravica and the Prokletije are mostly known for the growth of chestnuts. There are also wild strawberries growing in Đeravica during the summer.
