The larger section of the range is located within Albania, where it forms part of the Shebenik National Park, bounded by the municipalities of Librazhd to the southeast and Dibër to the northwest.

Its highest peak, Black Rock (Albanian: Guri i Zi; Macedonian: Црн Камен), reaches a height of 2,257 m (7,405 ft), marking the delineation point for both countries.

[1] Composed primarily of Triassic-Jurassic limestones, the range features a complex anticlinal structure with tectonic detachments.

It resembles a large elevated horst surrounded by tectonic-erosive slopes, the most prominent of which are found on the western and eastern edges, near Rrethi i Kurorës and Rajcë, respectively.

The northwestern section of the range is rugged and shaped by glacial and karst processes, while the southeastern side contains predominantly flat and pitted surfaces bounded by steep slopes.
