Bogë is a small mountainous village and also a holiday resort village in western Kosovo. Bogë is located in the Bjeshkët e Nemuna mountain range on an altitude of about 1,300–1,400 metres (4,300–4,600 ft). Nearby the village is located the peak of Hajla at 2,403 metres (7,884 ft) and the Lumbardhi i Pejës river which has its source not far from the village.

The name Bogë may have its origin from the Proto-Indo-European root *bhoĝ-, meaning "the running water".[2]
