The village of Theth is one of the most picturesque places in northern Albania.

Protected by the wild nature and very bad roads, the village still has the Kulla and other buildings from the Middle Ages.

The village is 100 per cent Roman Catholic and is home to a unique structure - the "Kulla e Ngujimit", a three-storey rock building without windows. It served as a self-imposed exile to protect people who were involved in blood feuds.

You will spend the day hiking in the village to the Grunas waterfall and then to the "Blue Eye", the naturally formed "pool" of the river Shala. This is a short, leisurely hike full of culture and natural beauty.
