About The Blue Eye of Theth
At the end of a valley below the village of Ndërlysaj, a small waterfall pours into the Blue Eye, Syri i Kaltër, a pool of brilliant turquoise water. Reaching it is an easy and beautiful walk of a few hours there and back from Theth, following the river all the way. The water is very cold, even in August, yet the brave still jump in, to cheers from the bank. Take water and snacks, although in summer small cafés along the trail serve drinks and simple food.
