Author’s recommendation
In summer months bring a lots of water and snacks with you. The lake after Qafa e Pejes ridge unfortunately didn’t feel like it’s suitable for swimming to cool down so an early morning start to avoid heat and a hat/cap is recommended.

Buses run only to Theth and we have seen hitchhiking along the road but “mountain taxi” exists if you don’t want to prolong the hike.Directions
Drive 5 mins from Theth along a dust road (appears there are plans to pave it soon) and park up on parking next to a kiosk. Walking path from Theth making hike longer is also an option.Parking
Next to a kiosk at starting point (2-3 euros a day).Coordinates
