Resrutt

Welcome to Shkoder! The biggest city in the north of Albania, Shkoder is also one of Albania's most interesting cities to visit with a glorious history, where each era has left its own special mark on it. Make your own way to the accommodation and explore the city on your own for the rest of the day. Our recommendation is to visit the Castle of Rozafa with its amazing history and legends, or just to hang out and chill in Albanian style at a local café.

Be ready for an early start as we leave Shkoder at 06:30. We will drive to Lake Koman to catch a ferry that departs at 09:00 to reach Fierza. The drive from Fierza to Valbona takes around 45-minutes, passing through the town of Bajram Curri, the gateway to Valbona Valley. After a lunch break in Valbona, we gear up for a little hiking trip in Kukaj. This hike, to a very remote area in the Valbona Valley where it's still all about self-sufficient living, takes about 1-2 hours, and is a great warm-up for the big hike tomorrow. Dinner and overnight in Valbona.

Meals: Lunch, dinner

Also known as the Big Day of the tour, we now set off on the thrilling hike from Valbona to Theth following the ancient path that the locals have been using for years. Back in the day it was only possible to travel from Valbona to Shkoder on foot taking two full days of walking! Walking on this path we will pass through the oldest part of the village where people are still living in their more than 100-year-old stone houses that are remarkable remnants of the past. The 18-km trek offers spectacular views of long rocky valleys and lush green forests. We stop for lunch at one of the traditional cafés along the way, but do stock up on snacks just in case. After trekking for about 7-8 hours we arrive in Theth that will for sure amaze us with its unique nature, history and traditions including the village's symbol, the Lock-In Tower. Overnight and dinner at the guesthouse.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Situated around 10 km from the centre of Theth, this natural water pool is the main destination of the third day. With a depth of 5 meters and icy waters (5°C), the Blue Eye is formed by the erosion of rock from the water that falls from the mountains. Picnic lunch at the Blue Eye and return to the guesthouse in the afternoon.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

After breakfast at the guesthouse, the beautiful Gurnas waterfall, located around a 45-min walk from the centre of the village, is our last stop before leaving Theth behind. It's about a 3-hour drive to Shkoder with a lunch stop on the way. You will have free time to cover the last bits of Shkoder before hopping on our private and comfortable transport to journey onwards to Tirana where the tour ends in the evening.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch
