The Dešat or Albanian Deshat ( Macedonian Дешат ) is a mountain on the border between Albania and North Macedonia . The mountain is characterized by its steep peaks.
The highest peak is the Velivar ( 2375 m. I. J .; Macedonian Веливар ). The second highest point of the mountain is the summit Kërçina ( 2345 m. I. J .; Macedonian Крчин Krčin ). Other significant elevations are Deli Senica ( 2258 m above sea level ) and Suva Bara ( 2140 m above sea level ). The mountain range stretches like the entire Korab Mountains , the southern end of which it forms, in a north-south direction between the Black Drin and its tributary Radika . In the south, the Dešat drops steeply to the Macedonian city of Debar and Lake Debar . The next town on the Albanian side is Peshkopi ; at the foot of Velivar and Kërçina is the place Maqellara .
The Dešat has deep gorges, large forests and glacial lakes.
