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