Dzhano (Bulgarian: Джано [ˈd͡ʒano]) is a 2,668 m high peak in the Pirin mountain range, south-western Bulgaria. It is located in the northern part of Pirin on the mountain's main ridge between Demirkapia Saddle and the summit of Chengelchal (2,709 m) in the south.[1] From Dzhano the main ridge turns in southern direction. To the north the short secondary ridge Dzhangalitsa leads to the summit of Sivria (2,591 m).[2] The north-eastern slopes descent to the Kremenski cirque and the homonymous lakes, to the east is the Kamenishki cirque and to the west — the Demirkapia one.[3]
The peak is built up of porphyry granite blocks and is covered in moraines.[4]
