Cukal ( 'Cukali') is a massif situated at the southernmost edge of the Albanian Alps. It is bounded by the river valleys of Kir to the northwest, Lesniqe to the northeast and Drin to the south.
==Geology== Extending in the shape of a dome with a northeast–southwest orientation, the massif has a length of and a width of and is part of the Krastë-Cukal tectonic zone. Composed primarily of Mesozoic limestone, flysch, Paleogene and less of shale and effusive rocks, it has a wrinkled, blocky and scaly structure, highly fragmented by the powerful tectonic movements of the Pliocene-Quaternary.
