Getting there

Walking

From the center of Theth, the Blue Eye is approximately a 3.5-hour hike. Follow the road for 5 km towards Nderlysa, a route that winds alongside the river. Once in Nderlysa, cross the bridge and follow the well-marked trail for about 40 minutes to reach the Blue Eye. The initial part of the trail from Nderlysa involves some uphill climbing, but the latter half is a more leisurely walk through a beech forest. Keep an eye out for the Stone Baths of Nderlysa, a series of pink-hued rock pools and waterfalls formed by river erosion.

Taxi/Car

You can hire a local driver in Theth to take you to Nderlysaj, which is about a 20-minute drive. Expect to pay around 5,000 Lek (approximately 50 Euros) for a round trip, including waiting time. From Nderlysaj, it's a 40-50 minute hike to the Blue Eye. Note that the road from Theth to Nderlysaj is a rural, unpaved road.

Public Transport

To reach Theth, take a bus from Shkodër. Buses depart from Hotel Rozafa in Shkoder at 7:00 AM and 2:00 PM. A one-way ticket costs 12 EUR per person. The journey takes approximately 2 hours, and the bus will drop you off at Mini Market Jezerca in Theth. From Theth, you can then hike or hire a taxi to reach the Blue Eye.

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.
