Maja e Boshit

Maja e Boshit () is a prominent summit in the Accursed Mountains range, in northern Albania. Rising at an elevation of , it is distinguished by its dome-like shape and positioning as a hydrographic junction for the watersheds of Shala, Valbona and Nikaj.

Situated west of the Zhaborret ridgeline and east of Maja e Rukës (1,620 m), it stands out as the only peak in the Albanian Alps that offers panoramic views over three remote valleys – Theth, Valbona and Curraj i Epërm – acting as a convergence point between them.

The nearby hiking trail of Rragam is a popular tourist attraction.
