This is a great place to stop while walking to the nearby waterfall. There are plenty places to sit and even a toilet. You are not expected to buy anything in order to use them (it would be nice to keep the place going, though). In the summer of 2025 I paid 200 LEK for a 330 ml can of lemon soda.

Nice place to take a little break on the way to the waterfall. Here you can get a small cold drink or coffee next to a few roaming chickens. Must have visited.

I stopped here to sleep on a hike from theth to valbone; with my scout group, we discovered this beautiul oasis in the middle of the mountains, owned and managed by the family, which is very welcoming; we became friends with the son, Romeo, who made sure any of our needs were met and with haste! When we asked if we could buy some food for the trail, he offered some delicious fresh goat cheese as a taste (200g of free cheese) but he was saddened when he realized he couldnt bake us bread due to low electricity. The cheese was cheap and delicious, the atmosphere was bucolic and familiar, the stay was heavenly; definitely consider spending a night here or stopping for a beer, it's worth it! (P.S. They now have two functioning bathrooms, don't worry)

We stopped here during our hike from Grunas Waterfall, and it was an absolute lifesaver — we were super thirsty, and this place came at the perfect moment. It has a really nice and simple setup: you just open the fridge, grab what you need, and pay in euros or leks. Very chill and honest system. There’s a cozy seating area where you can sit down, rest, and enjoy the beautiful mountain view. It also felt like a warm and welcoming place, even though it’s self-service. A lovely little oasis in the middle of nature — don’t miss it if you’re hiking in the area!

This is an absolutely lovely spot with great views. Old farm buildings and a small grassy enclosure with a bunch of tables and seats, four or so mature trees providing shade, cold drinks and snacks. Perfect for a break. Stopped on the way back from Theth to the Blue Eye (20km walk) at 17:30. Ideal.
