Getting There
-
Car
If you are traveling by car, start from the town of Shkodra. Head southeast on the SH1 road toward the town of Koplik. After about 25 km, take the exit toward the SH22 road and continue for approximately 30 km until you reach the village of Kelmend. From Kelmend, follow the signs toward the Zeta River, which is located just a few kilometers further. Be cautious of the winding mountain roads and enjoy the scenic views along the way.
-
Public Transportation
For public transportation, take a bus from Shkodra to Koplik, which runs frequently and costs around 200 ALL (Albanian Lek). Once you arrive in Koplik, you will need to catch a shared taxi (furgon) to Kelmend. The fare for the furgon is about 400 ALL per person. Upon reaching Kelmend, you can either walk or hire a local taxi to take you the remaining distance to Zeta River, which is approximately 5 km away.

Walking
If you prefer to walk, after arriving in Kelmend via bus or furgon, head south toward the Zeta River. The path is scenic and well-marked, and it should take about 1-1.5 hours to reach the river on foot. Ensure you have appropriate footwear, as the terrain can be uneven.
