What one extra day will get you on the Valbona to Theth Hike | Staying on Komani Lake, Albania

Getting to stay on the beautiful Komani Lake is what one extra day will get you on the Valbona to Theth hike…

After a couple of weeks in Montenegro, we made our way to Albania, the final country on our Balkans road trip!

The point to point, Valbona to Theth hike in Northern Albania is one of the most popular things to do in the country and getting to the trail is a bit of an adventure in itself - you have mini buses, ferries and more mini buses!

From Shkoder a lot of people will make the trip to Valbona in one day. You take the mini bus to the ferry terminal on Komani lake, hop on the ferry and another bus will pick you up 3 hours later on the other side and finish the drive to Valbona.

Komani Lake is incredibly beautiful so instead of rushing through, we spent the night out on the lake. There is a really nice guesthouse right on the banks of the water and we really enjoyed our stay there! We rented a kayak and simply just enjoyed the relaxing and peaceful atmosphere!

On the second day we finished the ferry ride to Fierza, took a van to Valbona and got ready for the big hike the following day! Stay tuned for the next episode where we take on the Valbona Pass!
