Orhi Navarre, Spain

Mount Orhy (French), (Orhi in Basque), is a mountain at the border of Navarre, (Spanish Basque Country) and Soule (French Basque Country), in the western Pyrenees, and is 2017 m high. It is the westernmost peak above 2000 m in the entire range, and the tallest mountain of the province of Soule. Its grassy slopes are used as pastures.

The name Orhy originates from Basque orre, meaning Juniper.

A prominent mountain next to the Irati Forest, it is very important in Basque mythology. Mention of "Orhiko xoria", or "Orhiko txoria" in standard Basque, (Basque: "bird of Orhi") is often found in many traditional Basque proverbs, poems, bertsos and songs, often to emphasize one's ties to their land: "Orhiko xoria, Orhin laket." (Souletin Basque: The bird of Orhi in Ohri will remain).
