Tomorr is a mountain chain in the region of Berat and Skrapar, in Albania. It reaches an elevation of 2,416 metres (7,927 ft) above sea level at the Çuka e Partizanit, which is the highest peak in central Albania.[3][4]
Mount Tomorr is one of Albania's biggest water-collecting areas.[4] Tomorr is situated within the Tomorr National Park, which is noted for its diverse species of deciduous and coniferous trees and a great variety of flora.[5] Many endangered species are free to roam and live in this area such as bears (Ursus arctos), wolf (Canis lupus), and birds of prey.
Tomorr is a holy mountain for Albanians, and it is a site where annual pilgrimages take place during the second half of August.[6] Along with St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Laç, Mount Tomorr is the most frequented sacred place in Albania.[7] Mount Tomorr is associated with Baba Tomor and Zojz by Albanian folk beliefs, with Abbas Ali by Bektashis and with Virgin Mary by Christians.
Mount Tomorr offers various sports such as hiking, horse or donkey riding, canoeing, and skiing.
