Itinerary description
Description follows!
Unfortunately Wikiloc screwed me up by removing half of the waypoints without me nothing it - probably I have to start all over, why are there so many limitations?

We enjoyed this one a lot! Pictures were actually taken on a longer trek from Vermosh to Valbona. Via Qafa Dobraces we reached Arapi and the Buni i Jezerces (camp), then scaled Jezerca summit on 2nd of June. A day ahead of us a German solo (climbing from Buni i Jezerces site) had left the first entry in the summit register.
End May / early June https://www.wikiloc.com/outdoor-trails/jezerca-from-theth-via-the-lakes-3302209#wp-3302211/photo-1430023
this year I was there by the end of june during my PoB ending thru Korita , no snow at all.
I really understand your enjoyment ;)

Hello. Beautiful photos. Can I ask a question? If I understood correctly your trip took few days, so I presume you cooked some food and boiled water with camping stove. Where you bought butan or butan-propan gas cartridges for camping stove and which type of gas cartridge it was: pierced-type, cang, screw-type or other type? Will be very grateful for answer.
Pierce type are readily available everywhere, click-on can be found in certain stores only, other types are not sold in Albania, Kosovo or Montenegro as to my knowledge. Outdoor.mk in Skopje sell screw-trype canisters.
CV206 pinch - YES
CV270/300/470 easy-clic - YES, for example One Shop in Tirana
Threaded canisters with vent EN417 (7/16" EU) - NO
Thank you very much for answer.
Hello at the beginning of June I will be with my girlfriend doing the Peks of the Balkans trek, and we intend to camp in the last lake and the next day to go up to Maja Jezerce. Questions: Is the last lake a good place to camp? is the route easy to follow? We want to do it on our own, we have two gps and seeing this we are also going to take crampons just in case? do you have to go through a lot of snow? it's very dangerous? any technical help is appreciated, greetings
1) For a single tent you can find suitable places everywhere, we kept on plateau above the look that was snow free. Keep in mind that the only flowing fresh water source is down in Zastan on the Montenegrin side of the border.
2) The route from Theth to the Jezerca Lakes is marked and easy to follow, it can also be completed by horses. The ascent to the peaks is more demanding and requires scrambling.
3) Crampons are a plus when there's snow, by early June there's usually only very little left and you won't face technical difficulties other than the scrambling sections.
Hello! I will be trekking this summer with my girlfriend in Albania. We are experienced trekkers however we won't have camping gear. Do you think that it is possible to do Theth to Vusaje via the lakes in one day? Thank!
From Vusanje and back within a day would be VERY long. Still long but more realistic would be to take a transfer to and from Zastan to shorten the walk.
Hi! Myself and some friends (all fit) are coming to Theth on June 15th. I was wondering if it would be possible to walk Theth - Jezerca Lakes - Valbone in one day (without the peak)?
I'm not sure whether anyone has attempted this before, but it would be very long and demanding all out hike. This should be approached with respect and I recommend making contigency plans shold anything go wrong on the way as to avoid stranding out in the mountains in the dark. If you're running out of the time, you culd still descent to the deserted hut at Zastan to shelter there.
