Newest Hiking Trail

The hiking trail from Shala River to Theth is the newest trail on a centuries-old path in Albania, which goes through the Shosh tribe peaks and other attractions like Leka’s Linden Stone to Lotaj, in one of the most panoramic mountain trails in Albania, in the region and beyond.

Things to do around Shala River

The hiking trail from Shala River to Theth is the newest trail on a centuries-old path in Albania, ready to be crossed by any tourist group starting from this July 2020.

In July 2020 was marked the path that connects the Shala River, Leka’s Linden Stone with Theth, the path that traverses the two most emblematic Albanian tribes, Shala and Shoshi.

For more than 12 km, six hours of moderate hiking from Leka’s Linden Stone to Lotaj near Binoshaj Guesthouse, one of the most panoramic mountain trails in Albania, in the region and beyond. From Lotaj village to Thethi valley the journey continues with a local transfer by 4WD or other local vehicles that have to pass on the old road that connects Theth with Shkodra, by the river Kir and is an unpaved road for about an hour.

Nature and the landscapes

Centuries-old towers, chestnut groves from wherever you aim, fruit and non-fruit trees are so high that they seem to capture the sky, endless vegetation, and flowers, calm slopes, gorges, caves and ravines, incomparable biodiversity, from wild goats, mountain eagle up to feathers.

This trail passes between two unimaginable canyons that you can see only in “nature explorer”. Ranges, ridges, and fjords that seem to descend from the sky, the peak of the Shala River, and the “Stupe” Shoshi River, which flows all through Shoshi valley and divides it in the middle.

Numerous tourist attractions, starting from the “Gate of Shala” to the place where these two rivers flow into Lake Koman, at the root of the legendary Komlem.

This trail was marked voluntarily by Prof. Zef Gjeta, Master-Chef Sokol Prenga, an expert connoisseur of the Alps Mr. Ndoc Mulaj, and some representatives of local guesthouses from these destinations, who worked tirelessly for three days in a row, in the opening and marking of this centuries-old path that connected Blin e Guri i Lekës with Shoshi and Shala.
