Description of mountain:
Zla Kolata lies in the extensive Prokletije mountain massif, which stretches along—or across—the borders of three countries: Albania to the north, Montenegro to the east, and Kosovo to the south. The Prokletije form the southernmost part of the Dinaric Alps and are relatively high; the highest peaks are Jezerski vrh or Maja Jezerce (2,694 m, in Albania), Đerovica (2,656 m in Kosovo), and Zla Kolata or Kollata e keqe (2,534 m in Montenegro).
The mountains are rockier from the north but grassier from the south (somewhat like our Karawanks), rich in water, numerous lakes, and green valleys where sheep graze, and lower down also cattle and horses.
Zla Kolata (Albanian direct translation of the name: bad pasture) lies in the Bjelič ridge above the town of Gusinje in the Plav municipality, in Montenegro's easternmost pocket, surrounded by Albania on three sides.
In the immediate vicinity (less than 1 hour) from the Qafa e Kollates saddle, it is possible to climb two neighboring peaks: Maja Kolata or Dobra Kolata (2,528 m) and Ravna Kolata or Podi i Kollates (2,554 m), the latter already in Albania.
