Your journey into the Albanian Alps includes a short stop at Qafë Thore, one of the most breathtaking mountain passes in northern Albania.

Enjoy time to take photos, stretch your legs, and admire the untouched alpine scenery. On clear days, you can see some of the highest and most iconic peaks of the region. This is one of the most beautiful scenic points on the road to Theth and a highlight for nature lovers and photographers.

Visit the charming Theth Church, one of the most iconic symbols of the Albanian Alps. Built in the late 19th century, this small stone church stands in a breathtaking open valley, surrounded by dramatic mountain peaks and traditional alpine houses. Travelers will have time to walk around the church grounds, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, and capture beautiful photos of the surrounding landscape. Your guide will share insights about the history of Theth, local traditions, and the role this church played in the life of the remote mountain community. This stop offers a perfect introduction to the unique culture and natural beauty of Theth before continuing deeper into the village and toward the Blue Eye.

Enter the historic Lock-In Tower of Theth, a unique stone structure that played an important role in the traditional Kanun laws of northern Albania. Inside this preserved tower, travelers will learn how families once used it as a place of refuge and protection during times of blood feuds. Your guide will explain the history and cultural significance of the tower, describe how daily life functioned inside its walls, and show you the interior rooms where people once stayed for weeks or months. This stop provides a fascinating look into Albania’s mountain traditions and the social codes that shaped life in Theth for centuries.

Travelers reach the stunning Blue Eye of Theth through a moderate round-trip hike, taking about 1.5 to 2 hours total. The trail leads through forests, small wooden bridges, and sections of rocky terrain, offering a beautiful mix of scenery along the way. While most of the path is gentle, some parts include uneven ground and light uphill/downhill walking, making it ideal for travelers with a moderate fitness level. Once you arrive at the Blue Eye, you’ll have 20 to 30 minutes to relax, take photos, and enjoy the vibrant turquoise pool formed by a natural spring. Your guide will share insights about how this unique geological feature was created, and you can dip your feet into the refreshingly cold alpine water before beginning the hike back.

NderlysajAfter completing the hike from the Blue Eye, travelers will arrive in the small mountain village of Nderlysaj, a peaceful spot surrounded by dramatic cliffs, rivers, and traditional alpine houses. This is the perfect place to rest and recharge after the trail. Here, travelers will have 1 to 2 hours of free time to enjoy lunch in a traditional local setting. Several family-run guesthouses and small restaurants offer authentic homemade dishes, allowing you to experience the true flavors and hospitality of the Albanian Alps. You can relax by the river, take photos of the beautiful landscape, or simply unwind before beginning the return journey to Theth and back to Durrës or Golem.
