The Albanian Alps are so beautiful but the Albanian Riveria is just magical like a fairytale!!

[@KittiandJon]

We agree! Albania is an all round beautiful country 😍

[@offroadoni]

🤩🤩

[@KittiandJon]

😊🙏

[@aureliogj7966]

There’s a lot of noise about Albania coast recently but I think the real unique authentic beauty of Albania is its Alps. Albania has a very gentle touch approach to it’s nature, leaving it do its thing. Recognising that no matter how much you try to conquer it the way it has been done in in majority of western developed countries, it will find a way to eventually put us mere humans in its place. Nature especially mountains have a strong presence in Albanian mythology as a horrifying force to be reckoned with. That’s why it is a good time to visit these places, one of the very few left in Europe that still maintain their raw and sublime beauty before we fall victim of the same approach to our nature in pursuit of mass tourism money

[@KittiandJon]

Well said 👍 we really enjoyed our time in the Albanian Alps because it was so untouched and authentic 😊

[@ervinslens]

We agree 😍 hi! Thanks for watching our video 😊

[@lmg77]

Great video. Do you know what time the bus leaves from Theth to Shkoder?

[@KittiandJon]

Thanks! 😊 can’t remember exactly but it was definitely mid morning (10-11am). Depends who you book it with too as they are all slightly different.

[@Purespeed941]

Hi guys, great vid. I am looking to do this hike with my partner in late May. What time of year did you guys do this?

[@KittiandJon]

Thank you 🙏 we did this hike in late August 😊

[@merzoukiabdelmoula2478]

In English: Hi, are you sure there isn't a road for cars between Theth and Valbona? I saw another video where a KZbinr mentioned that a new road has been built between the two places severla months now!

[@KittiandJon]

Possibly! There was a lot of construction going on when we were in Valbona and Theth so there might now be a road between the two places. Couldn’t say for sure though.

[@Jjemsc]

Hello I am interested in your itinerary. 🤗

[@KittiandJon]

Hey! That's great hope you can do the hike! It's a great one! 🙂
