The Maja Rosit ( Serbo-Croatian  Rosni Vrh / Росни Врх ; Albanian  also  Maja e Roshit , translated as Ros summit ; rarely Maja Rozit ) is a 2524  m. i. J. high peak in Prokletije on the Albanian - Montenegrin border. It is the second highest elevation in Montenegro after the Zla Kolata ( 2534  m. I. Y. Y. ) And before the Bobotov Kuk ( 2522  m. Y. Y. ) In the Durmitor .

The Jezerca , at 2694  m above sea level. A. highest mountain of the Prokletije, lies a little more than five kilometers southwest. The mountain rises between the Jezerca massif and the Kollata ( 2552  m above sea level ). In the south the terrain drops steeply from the Valbona valley. The Maja Rosit cannot be seen from the village of Valbona , however, because it is covered by the Maja e Thatë ( 2405  m above sea level ) on the pointed southeast ridge. In the north, after the initial rock faces, it is somewhat flatter in the summit area than on the south side, so that Herbert Louis speaks of a broad " plateau-like mountain mass ", which here in the north of the Valbona valley forms the watershed between Drin and Lim or Danube .

Like the whole region, the Maja Rosit is made of limestone .

The ascent over the saddle in the west is long and steep, but without any problems due to the lack of climbing spots. The summit area consists of steep meadow slopes. On the Montenegrin side, the mountain is climbed from Vusanje near Gusinje via the Ropojana valley and the Roman pasture . From the summit there is a wide panorama of the Prokletije mountains.

Notes on the height

  1. ↑ The altitude indication of 2524 meters can be found most frequently on most maps and also in other sources. There are, however, numerous deviating values:
    On Albanian maps the height is 2522.2  m above sea level. A. stated, cf. Map 1: 50,000 of the Military Cartographic Office of Albania, sheet K-34-52-D. A sign on the summit shows the height at 2522.5  m ( video on YouTube ). The statistical office of Montenegro Monstat gives the height of the mountain with 2522  m. i. J. an (Montenegro Statistical Office (Ed.): 2016 Statistical Yearbook . Podgorica 2016, p. 19.).
    In other books there are values ​​like 2525  m. i. J. (Abraham 2007), 2525  m above sea level A. (Piero Ghiglione: Malet e Shqipnisë . Distaptur, Tirana 1942) or even 2526  m above sea level. A. (Akademia e Shkencave e RPSSH (ed.): Gjeografia fizike e Shqipërisë. Tirana 1990, Volume II, p. 72).
