Day 3: The Big Hike from Valbona to Theth

Also known as the Big Day of the tour, we now set off on the thrilling hike from Valbona to Theth following the ancient path that the locals have been using for years. Back in the day it was only possible to travel from Valbona to Shkoder on foot, taking two full days of walking! Walking on this path, we will pass through the oldest part of the village where people are still living in their more than 100-year-old stone houses that are remarkable remnants of the past. The 18-km trek offers spectacular views of long rocky valleys and lush green forests. We stop for lunch at one of the traditional cafés along the way, but do stock up on snacks just in case. After trekking for about 7-8 hours we arrive in Theth that will for sure amaze us with its unique nature, history and traditions including the village's symbol, the Lock-In Tower. Overnight and dinner at the guesthouse.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 4: Theth - Shkoder - Tirana

After breakfast at the guesthouse, the Gurnas Waterfall is our next attraction, about a 45 minute walk from the center of the village. Living Theth behind we will drive around 3 hours and reach Shkoder, the biggest city of the Albanian North. Lunch along the way to Shkoder. Free time in Shkoder.
