North Albania, up towards the beautiful mountain sides

Lezhe is a cute small city but the only real attraction there is the castle on the hill.

further north you come to the city of Shkoder which is fairly large for Albania.

going up to Koplick, the entrance to Theth, the famous mountains area of north Albania.

Theth is the mountain area everyone visiting Albania wants to see. It’s probably best to go on a excursion with a group so you know where to go hiking and what other things to see in the area. The valley itself has some places to stay but they really don’t provide many activities right in that area.

The road up to this area from Koplick it’s about 1/3 180° her pin turns, 1/3 90° turns and 1/3 45° turns. It’s quite a trip and it’s done very slowly by almost all the cars and they’re very careful drivers on this road. It’s a very beautiful drive but it is quite long.
Beautiful pie or fur trees along the way.
There are some walking areas once you get to the main valley but if you’re hiking you want to do it during the dry season because once it gets wet it’s very difficult walking around this area.
Once you get to the main valley they have a coffee shop restaurant with a fish pond.
I took the drive during the off-season and that may be one reason why they weren’t cleaning the roads of the fallen rocks. There were worse places than this.
This main river in the valley had a very beautiful green color to it.
