Tarabosh (also known as Shën Marku) is a mountain in northwestern Albania, situated along the southwestern margin of Lake Shkodër. Rising to an elevation of above sea level, it forms a prominent relief overlooking the lake and the surrounding lowlands.
==Geography== Tarabosh extends between Lake Shkodër to the west and the Buna River plain to the east. Its western flank descends steeply toward the lakeshore, while the terrain on the eastern side declines more gradually toward the Buna lowland. At the foothills of the western slope lie the settlements of Shirokë, a traditional lakeside resort area and Zogaj. To the east, the mountain adjoins the region of Anamal, which constitutes part of the Buna plain.
