Thethi Gjeçaj - Buni i Thores saddle - Shtegu i Dhënve saddle 1830 m – Thethi
General view, free time
The place have a lot of greenswards , forests, is located over a pictorial saddle , over a panoramic road and over a very inclined saddle. The jaunt isn’t possible without a home-brew guide. The jaunt last about 7 – 8 hour. 3,30 – 4 hour are calculated to come back to the itinerary from Theth Gjecaj till Buni i Thores saddle valley. Needs at last 3 hour for the walk from there, over Shtegu Dhenve till Theth Gjecaj. During the 6th hour of the trip, Shtegu i Dhenve is consider relatively difficult and is required to advance with slow and secure steps because of the precipitous incline that is very dangerous. Other grounds are partially fit with soft road through greensward and forests. Can walk for about 1 hour in a road through the nature without coming across to any vehicle.
During the road there are no places to find foot , except two sources, exactly two drinking-fountain with potable water.
Difficulty rating
In circa 90% of the length of the road, in both the two lower parts of Shtegu i Dhenve saddle present a high level difficulty because the climbing and the descent in this incline is very difficult, notably for the people that aren’t trained to climb mountains .
In humid weather, the incline is very dangerous. Better is not to pass there in this conditions , till it turns in its normal state.
The difficulty rating of the roads for walking depends from a easy one till very difficult, impassable and inclined.
