Abstract
Kurveleshi Highland is located southwest of Albania, between Memaliaj-Drinos and Shushica syncline belts. It is as a mountainous castle above the river valleys. Animal husbandry, agriculture, wool manufacture, medical plants, and beekeeping are the economic surviving support for the habitants of seven villages. Some phosphorite deposits, decorative limestone and gypsum outcrops are prospected in this highland. The majesty of this highland, consists in its relief, some times of fear view, but often with nice landscapes of different forms.
