Why visit Theth
Theth is the starting point for Albania's most famous hike, the crossing to Valbona. The village itself has a photogenic church, a blood-feud tower and a dramatic blue eye spring. Guesthouse culture makes it easy to stay overnight.
Theth sits at the end of a winding road in the Albanian Alps. The hike to Valbona over the Qafa e Tërthores pass is one of the best day walks in the Balkans. Closer to the village, the Grunas Waterfall and Blue Eye of Theth reward shorter walks. Staying in a family guesthouse is part of the experience.
Planning your visit
Theth is best suited to hiking, nature, adventure. Allow 2–3 days to do it justice. For the most current opening hours, ticket prices and transport details, check official sources before you travel — these change seasonally.
