Day 9 - Theth Valley

A day in Theth valley:

Walk from Theth to the blue eye (Syri Kalter) and back to Nderlysaj

Transfer to Theth - July 24

We were lucky to wake up to a beautiful warm (hot) day, perfect for walking along Lumi Thethi (Tethi river), after visiting the old church and the tower where people had a fixed time to negotiate peace treaties before they continue the revenge cycle.

The first stop for "swimming" was where a red bridge crosses a stream that joins the river on the left side. We went up the stream a little and found some nice pools with a good temperature (20 deg .)

The second stop was the Grunas waterfall. None of us was brave enough to swim there...

Another nice pool along the trail made us stop for another swim in Lumi Thethi, before stopping for beer and fried peppers on the balcony of Lulash bar in Nderlysaj just above the beautiful gorge of the Black river.

From there,  it's another 45 minutes of hiking up that gorge all the way to the beautiful (cold, 10 deg) pool of the blue eye.

Don't miss the long wooden ladder that takes you up to the lovely restaurant whose simple branches balconies are built on massive trees and hang above the blue pool.

The walk back down to Nderlysaj is shorter (or quicker) as descends always tend to be...

Last day:

Transfer from Thethi to Shkoder

The road is not paved but the views are stunning, despite the rain that moved in during the night.

Make sure you stop for coffee In The new bar 2 minutes before you reach the  Boga pass!!!
