What To Expect

Theth

The drive from Tirana to Theth takes 5–6 hours and offers a dramatic shift from city life to alpine wilderness. After leaving Tirana, you pass through green countryside to Shkodra, a historic city by Lake Shkodra—perfect for a short break. From there, the road narrows and climbs into the Albanian Alps, with views of rugged peaks, deep valleys, and remote stone villages. The Qafa e Thores Pass provides breathtaking panoramas. A 4x4 is recommended, as parts of the road are unpaved and steep. In Theth, a tranquil mountain village, highlights include the iconic church, Grunas Waterfall, and the Blue Eye spring—reachable via a scenic hike. Visit from late spring to early autumn for the best road conditions and weather.
