Morning transfer to the pretty village of Nderlysaj by local minibus to begin the day's hike to the Blue Eye, a natural treasure located in Albania's Theth National Park. It owes its name to its deep-blue crystalline waters, creating a striking image amidst the surrounding nature. The waterfall is fed by underground springs and surrounded by lush green forests and majestic mountains. The Cascade de Grunas is an ideal place for hiking and relaxing, offering visitors a serene experience in the heart of the natural beauty of the Albanian Alps. Along the way, we'll follow the valley of the Theth River to conclude the day's visits with the "tower of reconciliation", which awaits us with stories of the famous "Kanun de Lekë Dukagjini", an ancestral law passed down orally from generation to generation.

Theth – Shkoder 2 hours

In the morning, you'll start your day in Theth, an enchanting village nestled in the Albanian Alps. The Tower of Vendetta is an iconic historical structure, bearing witness to the region's tumultuous past and the traditional practice of Kanun law, governing vendetta and family disputes. A visit to this tower will give you a unique insight into Albanian history and culture as well as the way local communities have lived and dealt with conflict over the centuries.
After your visit to Theth, you'll take the road to Shkodër. The route follows the Qafë Thore road, known as one of the most scenic roads in Albania. This road winds through the mountains, offering spectacular views of valleys, alpine peaks and rural landscapes. Plan stops to take photos and make the most of the breathtaking panoramas.

The route is a real treat for nature lovers, with opportunities to observe local flora and fauna. The views of the Albanian Alps are particularly impressive, and the changing landscape along the way adds to the excitement of the journey.
