Weekend Adventure in Theth, Albania: Nature, Waterfalls & Blue Eye

The Lock-in Tower of Theth, also known as the Tower of Nikoll Koçeku, is one of the most valued historic and architectural monuments of Albania’s highlands. A unique structure that contains hundreds of years of history, in the village of Dukagjin, this tower is known for having imprisoned all of those who had committed serious crimes against the Kanun of Lekë Dukagjin, a set of oral traditional Albanian laws coded in the 15th century.

We start the programs down to the valley and continue the walk along the river. We will visit the church. After the church, we will visit the Lock-in Tower. We'll continue to the Grunas Waterfall, which is one of the most unique natural beauties in the Albanian Alps, proclaimed a state-protected nature monument. Grunas waterfall with its thin body of over 30 meters high with the circles around it and Mill of Boja, one of the most interesting places to visit in Theth .

Overnight in Guesthouese

we leave the guesthouse to the Blue Eye (Capri Eye), cross the wire bridge visiting stone groves of Nderlysa. Their appearance is quite interesting since having the shapes completely rounded and smooth, they look exactly like tubs. During our journey, since the water flows are scarce, we can freshen them up. These rock masses are finalized with a natural crystal water pool where we can swim on it . Then we continue on the road to the Blue Eye. The location of this beauty is in Cape Kapre, one of the most beautiful Alps villages. When returning from the Blue Eye to the village of Thethi, we visit the canyon, which is about 2 km long and 60 meters deep, ranging from 2-3 meters wide to 30-40 meters. There is an incomparable beauty, where all the time there is enough water for canoe passionate enthusiasts .
