Path Through the Fields in Theth Village

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Behind the church we walk in a southeasterly direction through fields and meadows and arrive at a path flanked by trees and a wall. On the left is the Ethnographic Museum on a rock. We climb to the right over the wooden ladder, however, towards the path along the river. Before restaurant Shpella we turn left and walk straight towards the 'refuge tower'. The *Kulla e Ngujimit* is a multi-story stone tower where men threatened with blood revenge could seek refuge.

Red Bridge on the Way to Grunas Waterfall

Highlight • Bridge

Red pedestrian bridge over the Shala River, a landmark on the trail to Theth's Blue Eye. The metal structure with wooden planks marks the transition from the village path to the mountain trail, contrasting sharply with the valley's greenery. Graffiti and stickers tell the story of passing hikers — a living trace in a rugged landscape where nature and human presence subtly touch.

Grunas Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Narrow, powerful waterfall dropping 25–30 meters down a vertical limestone wall on the west flank of the Theth Valley. The source lies directly above the fall, fed by a high-altitude karst spring and meltwater, ensuring the water remains clear and cold even in summer. Since 2002, the waterfall has been an official nature monument. The path to it is short but steep, with wet, slippery stones and a river crossing that can be challenging in rain. Its location — wedged between rocks and greenery — makes this one of Theth's most characterful spots.
