Maja Bojs path
Maja e Bojës rises above Theth as one of the sharper peaks in this stretch of the Accursed Mountains, and the path up it is unrelentingly steep, with sections of loose rock and exposed ridge that put it firmly in hard-difficulty territory. What you get for the effort is one of the better panoramas around Theth, with the valley's terraced fields shrinking below and the surrounding limestone summits laid out in a jagged line. Only attempt it May to October, in good weather, and with proper boots and trekking poles; this is not a casual add-on to a Theth waterfall visit.

ThethRoute to Nikç
The route to Nikç climbs out of Theth toward one of the more remote hamlets tucked into the folds of the Albanian Alps, on the northern approach that eventually links toward the Kelmend highlands. Expect forested lower slopes giving way to open, rocky ground higher up, with far fewer walkers than the well-trodden Theth–Valbonë crossing gets in peak season. It's rated moderate — manageable for a fit, prepared walker without technical gear — and the dependable season runs May to October, before the upper sections turn icy.
ThethUra e Shalës
Ura e Shalës is a single-arch stone bridge over the Shala river just outside Theth, and the path to it is easy enough for almost anyone staying in the village to manage before breakfast. The bridge itself, low and humped, has become one of the most photographed spots in the Accursed Mountains, so expect company at midday. Go early if you want the water and the old stone to yourselves.
Theth"Waterfall Grunas" Route
The walk to Grunasi Waterfall is probably the single most-repeated hike in Theth National Park, following the gorge below Maja e Arapit to a curtain of water dropping through limestone cut by centuries of runoff. Moderate difficulty here means a well-trodden path with a couple of short scrambles near the falls themselves, easily manageable in a morning or afternoon rather than a full day, which is exactly why it draws so many of Theth's visitors. Go May to October for the clearest trail conditions, though the falls run fullest earlier in that window, right after the spring snowmelt.
