August 23, 2023,Wanderung zum "Blauen Auge von Theth" Blue Eye Runde von Theth
The Blue Eye of Theth is a very deep well. It's fascinating, this blue water. The hike there was worth it. The hike itself is also really great.

October 13, 2024,Albanischer Herbst– Schlucht/Canyon Runde von Thethi
Simply an absolute dream tour. There was a lot going on at the beginning and end of the tour, but between the hotspots it was completely quiet. The last walk through the stream (which we thought was a shortcut) was a bit deeper and more rapid than we thought 😂
What a brilliant day and now we are staying in …

The way back was across the street. Not pretty, but faster.
Otherwise you have to take the same path on the other bank.

So - missing bridges, scary bridges, exposed paths with BIG drops and further than the miles suggest. Not suitable for young children. However, stunning views that are really out of this world. If you dont mind heights - do it!

Don't follow my route nearby the Grunes Waterfall because I pushed into the thicket
August 24, 2026,AL03 Blue Eye
Theth and its valley in the Albanian Alps offer many hiking opportunities.
The most popular is certainly the hike to the Blue Eye and we added a detour to the Grunasi waterfall.
A long hike, but not a very difficult one. Halfway there are some catering points.
When you start the mountain path to the Blue Eye, you clearly enter …

May 17, 2024,27.2 Wasserfall & Blue Eye
In the morning we decided to visit the typical sights of Theth, the waterfall and the Blue Eye. First we walked along the valley on a lonely hiking trail until we came across the popular path to the waterfall. After a short break at the waterfall we continued along a rushing turquoise river, along which the path meandered. When we …

September 2, 2024,Von Theth zum Blue Eye 👁️‍🗨️🥾
Our longest hike in Theth and up to the point where the path to the Blue Eye begins, it is really doable. It leads along the Theth River, which offers many opportunities to cool off in the wonderfully ice-cold, ice-blue water. The path directly to the Blue Eye is arduous but worthwhile, along the route there are small stands selling …
