Griba is a massif situated in the Upper Kurvelesh region, within the boundaries of Tepelenë municipality, in southern Albania. Its highest peak, Maja e Këndrevicës, reaches a height of 2122m (6,962feet).
Other high peaks include Maja e Tartarit 1971m (6,467feet), Maja e Kulthit 1907m (6,257feet), Maja e Sorrës 1857m (6,093feet), Maja e Lopsit 1837m (6,027feet), etc.[1]
The massif features a cone-shaped body with steep inclines and a flat peak and is composed primarily of Mesozoic and Paleogene limestones, with lesser amounts of flysch, giving it an asymmetrical anticlinal structure. Its ridge is marked by numerous karst pits and evidence of quaternary glaciations can be seen with the presence of cirques and moraines.[2]
Vegetation is sparse but there are plenty of summer pastures and a variety of medicinal plants. In Dhëmblan, the laurel forest has been designated a protected nature reserve. The area is home to a thriving population of quail.
