Prokletije (; , (アルバニア語:Bjeshkët e Namuna), both translated as "cursed mountains") is a mountain range on the western Balkan peninsula, extending from northern Albania to Kosovo and eastern Montenegro. Its peak in Albania, Maja Jezercë at , is the highest point of the Dinaric Alps, and the 7th highest peak in Albania. Both the highest peak in Montenegro, Zla Kolata at (which is also partially in Albania) and the highest in Kosovo, Đeravica at , are here. The highest peak in Albania, however, is Mount Korab, part of the Korab range, at high and in the east of the country on the border with the Republic of Macedonia (making it Macedonia's highest point in addition). The southernmost glaciers in Europe were recently discovered in the Albanian part of the range. The regional economy is based mainly on agriculture, immigrant remittances and tourism. == Name == Ptolemy mentioned ''Mons Bertiscus'', which has been connected to Prokletije. Bertiscus lives on artificially in the form ''bertiscae'' in the scientific names for endemic species that have their ''locus classicus'' in the mountains, such as ''Valeriana bertiscae'', ''Crepis bertiscae'' and ''Iris bertiscae''.〔Karl Heinz Rechinger: ''Ergebnisse einer botanischen Reise in den Bertiscus (Nordalbanische Alpen)'', 1935, in: Feddes Repert. Spec. Nov., 38: 137 — 152, 319-389.〕 Serbo-Croatian ''Prokletije'' and Albanian ''Bjeshkët e Namuna'' both mean "the accursed (mountains)", possibly because they are perceived as insurmountable and wild. In Albanian geography, another name for the region within Albania since the 20th century is ''Alpet Shqiptare'', meaning "Albanian Alps". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prokletije」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
