possible for hike to the waterfall or Blue Eye: *It takes approximately an hour
to get the waterfall from the center of Theth Village. The hike is spectacular,
taking you along a spectacular landscape of rivers, pastures, and mountain
slopes. The last leg of the hike involves a 15-minute climb of an intermediate
level so be prepared with your best, non-slippery shoes. Although the journey is
not especially easy, the reward, as it often happens, is well worth your time
and energy. *From Nderlysa to the Blue Eye it takes 40 minutes -1 hour of walk
one way, among which only the first half is more difficult to climb while the
second part is easy walking in the middle of the beech forest to get surprised
then by the blue eye.
