It is totally surrounded by branches of the White Drin. In Kosovo the towns of Šar and Zur are next to the mountain. The Koritnik mountain because of its high pastures contains a population of 60 chamois.

The latter declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory.
