What people say

"A steep hike up to Qafa e Valbonës. It's a 12,6km hike, about 991m of elevation and takes around 4-5h. Depending on season and fitness level the time can vary a lot. The views are breathtaking and it's absolutely worth doing it, also as a part of the Balkan Trail. I've done it end of march and we still had a fair bit of snow. They usually say you should do it from June to September. But you can still hike up a bit and see how far you get. Wear good shoes as the gravel is very slippery too and take some water with you. They're building a new hut currently where you can get drinks, but you never know if someone will be there. "
"Wherever you decide to stay in Theth will give you any information you need about hiking the pass and hiking onward to Valbone if that is what you choose to do. "
