Overview
Nestled within Theth National Park, approximately 7 km from the center of Theth Valley, lies Syri i Kaltër, translated as the Blue Eye. This natural wonder is a spring with a depth of 3 to 5 meters, formed by the Lumi i Zi (Black River) that descends from Kaprre. The pool's mesmerizing blue and emerald hues shift with the seasons, creating a captivating spectacle for visitors.The Black River originates from Maja e Zeze (Black Peak) and is primarily fed by melting snow. It merges with the Lumi i Shala in Nderlysa before flowing into the Drin River at Komani Lake. The surrounding landscape features rocky slopes and verdant vegetation, adding to the allure of this natural attraction.Visitors can take a refreshing dip in the cold waters or simply relax on the surrounding rocks, taking in the scenery. A wooden platform has also been constructed above the Blue Eye, offering an enhanced view of the waterfall and the depths of the pool. The best time to visit the Blue Eye is between June and October.
