Guri i Topit is a mountain located on the border between the municipalities of Gramsh and Pogradec, in eastern Albania. Standing at a height of 2125m (6,972feet), it is bordered by Valamara in the south and Guri i Zi in the northwest.[1]
The mountain is primarily composed of effusive rocks and Mesozoic limestone, as well as flysch, and features a scaly structure. It has an undulating ridge with glacial landforms – above 1700m (5,600feet) – represented by valleys, cirques, moraines and glacial lakes. Several branches of the Devoll river originate on the western slope, while branches of the Shkumbin originate from the eastern side.[2]
Vegetation consists mostly of beech, pine forests and alpine pastures.
