Qelqëz
Qelqëz ( 'Qelqëza') is a mountain located in the Dangëlli Highlands, in southern Albania. Part of the only mountain range that is divided into three branches, Qelqëz, the tallest peak , highlights the first branch which commences at Miçan Pass, continues through Qelqëz, Dëllënjë Pass and finally at Mali i Piskalit , gradually descending towards the upper reaches of Lengaricë river in the southeast. Along its course, it connects with the mountains of Postenan  and Melesin . Geology 
The range forms a relief with an uneven and wavy appearance, featuring an asymmetrical slope. It is primarily composed of flysch, with Paleogene limestone emerging between the layers. Its geological structures are broken up by transverse and longitudinal tectonic detachments, which are most prominent in the steeper terrain, with some sections having developed transverse valleys. Biodiversity 
The sparse vegetation found in the lower sections of the western slope consists mainly of deciduous trees and shrubs. Oaks do not subsist a continuous belt, with certain areas being entirely devoid of them. Instead, there is a direct transition from bushes to Mediterranean conifers, which form several forests, most notably the Fir of Hotovë-Dangëlli National Park. History 
Qelqëz defines the historical north-eastern limit of the geographic region of Epirus proper, as well as the south-eastern limit of Illyria. See also
