Southern Mountain Region (Albania)

[1][6] The range notably includes two mountain chains: the Trebeshinë-Dhëmbel-Nemërçkë and Shëndelli-Lunxhëri-Bureto.

To the north Nemërçkë is separated from the Albanian Pindus mountains, by the Vjosë river, Albania's second longest river, while to the south it reaches the Albanian-Greek border.

Some of northern part of the range, which is also the highest one, is protected by the Fir of Hotova National Park.

In geomorphological terms, the Nemërçkes are part of the Nemërçka massif.

The summit of the mountain range, Maja e Papingut is the highest peak.
