View at the Abby Highlands
Abby Highlands (hexacode: KI-AH) is a rural district in Kings, as well as a significant geographic region of the southern part of Kings Island in Lovia. The administrative headquarters of the district are located in Centreville.
The region is named after the river which wells in the mountain area. The Abby Highlands are the result of the younger island - land formed by the hotspot in the north - pushing the older parts of the isle together. Lovia's highest point, the 946 meter high Kings' Peak, is situated in this area. Together with the other peaks, which are all interconnected by a single hiking trail, it is the main tourist attraction of Kings. One other rareness worth mentioning is the Coastal Giant, a mountain that lies fairly isolated at no more than two kilometer (1.2 miles) of the coast. The landscape of the Highlands is again more barren, with lower vegetation and more open spaces. The most common animals in the mountains are small reptiles and amphibians which are best adapted to the rocky surrounding.
