Theth

Theth is a remote village in the Albanian Alps accessed by a mountain road through the Shala River valley, surrounded by peaks that rise well above 2,000 metres on all sides. The valley retains traditional stone-built kulla tower houses associated with the old Albanian customary law, and the church dating from 1892 is one of the few surviving pre-communist religious structures in the region. The hiking trail over the Valbona Pass to the adjacent Valbona valley is one of the most celebrated mountain walks in the western Balkans.
