Itinerary description

Exploring the Hidden Gem of Nderlysaj: The Blue Eye of Theth

Nderlysaj, a tranquil destination reached by a road veering right and skillfully avoiding the bridge leading to Theth, offers a unique adventure for those seeking the beauty of nature. A 20-minute drive concludes at a spacious and complimentary car park, marking the beginning of a captivating journey to the Blue Eye.

Embarking on a one-hour hike from the car park, explorers are advised to resist the temptation to consider the journey complete upon reaching the Blue Eye snack bar. The true marvel awaits after an additional 5 to 10 minutes along the first river bank. Traverse a bridge, pass another snack bar amidst intriguing rock formations, and follow a path leading to the breathtaking Blue Eye.

Distinguishing itself from its southern Albanian counterpart, this Blue Eye is a testament to nature's diverse wonders. Here, the water cascades from a waterfall rather than bubbling up from an underground cavern. The remote ambiance adds to the allure, creating an experience both serene and awe-inspiring.

The crystal-clear waters, ranging in hues from deep blue to aquamarine, mesmerize visitors from various viewpoints. As you explore the immediate area, wooden planks serve as the pathway across the stream, demanding a certain level of confidence from those eager to discover every facet of this hidden gem.

In the heart of Nderlysaj, the Blue Eye beckons with its unique charm, inviting adventurers to immerse themselves in a journey where nature's wonders unfold in every step, and the allure of the unknown is embraced with each wooden plank crossed.
