Albania has one of the most rugged, mountainous terrain in Europe, with some alluvial plains on the west that are filled up by sediments of rivers coming from the nearby mountain chains, the North Albanian Alps in the north, the Korab Mountains in the east, that is also the parent of the highest peak in the country, Mount Korab, or the Pindus Mountains that stretch from Greece in the south.
The two major spectacular lakes of Albania, Lake Ohrid and Lake Prespa are situated on the eastern border with Macedonia. The rivers of Albania all flow from the eastern slopes towards the Adriatic coast. Most notable of these rivers are the White Drin, Black Drin, and Vjosa rivers.
