The Lunxhëria ( Albanian also Mali i Lunxhërise ) is a long mountain range in southern Albania east of Gjirokastra . The highest point is the Maja e Lalucit at 2155 m above sea level. A. A little to the north is a secondary peak, for which even a height of 2156 m above sea level. A. is listed.
The mountain is part of the Shëndëll-Lunxhëria-Buretoja -Gebirgszugs, a powerful anticline from limestone . The Lunxhëria forms the central part, in the north through the gorge of Këlcyra (Gryka e Këlcyrës) from Mount Shëndell ( 1802 m above sea level ) through which the Vjosa flows , in the south through the gorge of Selcka and Suha from Mount Buretoja ( 1763 m o. A. ) separately.
The mountain is part of a powerful anticline from limestone with a Flyschsockel . The mountain stretches for almost 30 kilometers in an almost straight line from northwest to southeast. On the west side the mountain range is limited by the valley of the Drino , in the east by the syncline of Zagoria and Pogon running parallel to the mountain , which is closed in the east by the anticline of the Trëbëshinj-Dhëmbel-Nëmerçka mountain range.

The mountain first drops steeply to the west before it merges into flatter hills that run out into the Dropull plain. The mountain range falls less steeply in the east. There are numerous glacial forms such as cirques and sinkholes . These slopes and plateaus are still used by shepherds, even if long-distance grazing no longer reaches earlier proportions.
The pass Qafe e Çajupit about in the middle of the mountain is about 1310 m above sea level. A. the deepest transition. A little-used path leads over the pass into the Zagoria .
