A karst spring around 50 m deep in the middle of a fairytale pine forest. 6 cubic meters of water bubble up per second. The "Blue Eye" is supposedly the spring with the most water in Albania. The water, which is only 12°C warm, shimmers in all shades of color in the sunlight and, depending on the sunlight, appears from bright turquoise green to dark royal blue. Hence the name "Blue Eye".
