It is in the boundary line between the Drenica region and the Kosovo Plain. The river Sitnica passes close by it. The village of Stanovci is located to the right of the mountain. Large towns and cities like Prishtina, Vushtri and Obiliq are located close by the mountain.

During the 1998-1999 Kosovo War many villagers took refuge in the mountain until the war ended.

a.

^ The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, it is formally recognised as an independent state by 97 UN member states (with another 15 recognising it at some point but then withdrawing recognition), while Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory.
