The isolated and remote Thethi National Park is located in the far north of Albania in the Dinaric Alps. The park and valley consists mostly of beech forest with some conifers and broad-leafed trees such as ash and hornbeam.
The largest settlement in the area is the pretty village of Thethi which during the height of communism was a tourist resort. Adventurous travellers who make it to Thethi are amply rewarded – the setting is quite dramatic with a backdrop of the high peaks of the Albanian Alps.
Shkodra is the nearest major town to Thethi, 70 km away. Due to the poor road conditions and remoteness of the region, hiring a 4WD vehicle with an experienced driver is the recommended and most reliable way to travel – and an adventure in itself!
Attractions in Thethi National Park
A day trip to this beautiful area would not do it justice – there are several attractions locally and it is an idyllic spot to spend a couple of days absorbing the local culture.
