What is Albania’s landscape like?

Albania is largely mountainous: about three-fourths of its land consists of mountains and hills higher than 650 feet above sea level. The rugged North Albanian Alps cover the north, while Mount Korab, at 9,030 feet, is the country’s highest peak. Low, fertile plains stretch along the Adriatic coast in western Albania. These plains are the country’s most important agricultural and industrial region and its most densely populated area.
