Đeravica or Gjeravica (Albanian: Gjeravica; Serbian Cyrillic: Ђеравица) is the second-highest mountain peak in the Prokletije mountain range and the Dinaric Alps chain, after Maja Jezercë. It is the second-highest[6] (after Velika Rudoka) mountain in Kosovo,[a] or the second-highest mountain of Serbia, according to the Serbian government position over its status. It has an elevation of 2,656 m (8,714 ft) above sea level.[1][2][3][4] Đeravica is in the western part of Kosovo, in the municipality of Junik. Before the 20th century, Đeravica used to be called Kaluđerovica (Kaluđer means monk in Serbian).[dubious – discuss][citation needed]
Features
Đeravica is somewhat different from the rest of the Prokletije mountains in its lack of the stony, limestone texture the other mountains in Prokletije have.[citation needed] Many large and small glacial lakes can be found near the summit. The largest of the lakes is Đeravica Lake, which is just under the summit and is the origin of the Erenik river.
Đeravica and the Prokletije are mostly known for the growth of chestnuts.[citation needed] There are also wild strawberries growing in Đeravica during the summer.[citation needed]
