Itinerary description
An A-B-A hike from Theth to one of the most popular destinations in the area - waterfall Blue Eye (albanian: Syri i Kalter). Getting to the Blue Eye and back follows (almost) the same trail, simply because it is the shortest way. Returning on the west side of the river is also possible, but much longer.
A few 100m before reaching the Blue Eye you cross a river (see pix #15). It's possible to swim in the river and at the Blue Eye, but the water is VERY cold.
Don't be fooled by the dead-end-walk @1,8km on the map - the path isn't of any interest and you'll be stuck somewhere in the forest.
