Lechkhumi Range (Georgian: ლეჩხუმის ქედი) is a mountain range in Georgia, a southern part of the Caucasus mountains. The Lechkhumi range serves as a watershed, separating the Tskhenistsqali and Rioni river valleys.[1]
The length of the ridge is 66 km and width is about 25 km.[1] Its maximum height is 3584 metres (the peak of mountain Samertskhle).
Lechkhumi Range has a glacial landform, including U-shaped valley and Cirque.[2] It is mainly composed of lower and middle Jurassic slates, sandstones and limestones.[3] Lechkhumi Range encompasses 4 glaciers,[3] which covered 2 km2.[1] It is mostly covered by oak, hornbeam, beech, spruce and fir. The highest part has alpine and subalpine landscapes.[2]
