Peaks of the Balkans Trail | Valbona to Theth, Albania

After spending a relaxing night on Komani Lake, we made our way to Valbona for the very popular Valbona to Theth hike, a one-day trek that takes you between these two charming villages.

The hike took us around 9 hours and we enjoyed every minute of the dramatic terrain of the Accursed Mountains. The mountains are rugged and breathtakingly beautiful!

We stayed for a couple of nights in Theth and did a day hike to the beautiful and bone chilling cold, Blue Eye. We both went for a (quick) swim and it was most certainly the coldest water we have ever been in before!

This area of Albania was probably what we were most excited for in the country and it still managed to exceed all of our expectations!
