Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox mountain
Bureto is a mountain located in the municipality of Libohovë, in southern Albania. It forms an integral part of the Shëndelli-Lunxhëri-Bureto mountain range. Its highest peak, Maja e Arkovolës, reaches a height of Шаблон:Convert.[1]
Geology
Bureto constitutes the watershed boundary between the waters that accumulate in the Suha and Drino rivers. It is composed primarily of Cretaceous and Paleogene limestone and less of flysch, forming an anticlinal arch-shaped structure with asymmetrical arms. The ridge of the mountain is flat, with slight undulations, filled with surface karst forms (pits, funnels), therefore there are few surface water flows. The western slope is steep and contorted by regional tectonic detachments, resulting in a number of mineral water springs emerging from its foothills, most notably Glina.[2]
Biodiversity
Snow covers the top of the mountain during winter, while bushes and oaks grow on its eastern slope. The surrounding area is abound with summer pastures and medicinal plants.
Bureto is inhabited by human population on both sides, up to an elevation of Шаблон:Convert. The nearby town of Libohovë is situated on its western foothills.
