<map lat="42.39699837104811" lng="19.75643375868309" zoom="12" view="0" float="right" />'''Theth''' is a small village up in the mountains in Shalë municipality, northern [[Albania]]. Nearest bigger city is [[Shkodër]].
Village is surrounded by amazing mountains views and trekking paths in Theth national park. The most famous one is the hike from Theth to Valbone.Theth doesn't have supermarkets or ATMs and the only way to buy food is to eat in the restaurants/guesthouses, so it's a good idea to bring food (and means of cooking it, if needed).
It's quite remote and road to to there is very bad over the mountains. It's recommended to access only with SUV vehicle but you would also see more shabby minibuses doing the route. You can easily hitchhike some tourists, but it might take a while as it's not many cars passing. It can take up to 2 hours to do the mountain crossing, depending on driverHitching in'''s skills.
[[Image:Albania hh truckNo matter what direction you come from, hitch in from the SH1 way. From Shkoder, there is another direct route to Theth, but it's scarcely travelled, so don't hitch from there.jpg|right|thumb|Hitching down When reaching Koplik, turn towards Theth from the mountains at the back of truckroundabout, and hitch from there.]]You First you'll need first hitch a ride to get to [[Bogë]], the last village before Theth. From [[Bogë]] anybody going towards [[Theth]] will basically take you all the way. If not, getting stuck up in the mountains might be dangerous without proper gear, but you can always walk your way down. It's quite remote and the road to Theth is only partially asphalted. However, as of 2014, the asphalting of the final part to Theth is under way. It's recommended to access only with SUV vehicle but you would also see more shabby minibuses doing the route. Hitching experiences can greatly vary: sometimes, you can get an easy ride from tourists going up, but as tourism is picking up here, you might also find that tourist jeeps are packed, and local operators will charge you up to 15 euros for the ride. In general, it might take a while as there are not many cars passing. It can take up to 3-4 hours driving from Koplik to Theth.  [[Image:Albania hh truck.jpg|right|thumb|Hitching down from the mountains at the back of truck.]]
Remember that village gets isolated over the winter, so be cautious during spring/autumn seasons.
As of summer 2013 new asphalt road was being built In general, the infrastructure towards the villageTheth is greatly advancing, but workers were telling they will do only half so is tourism. Consequently, the way. Place area is probably going prone to become significant change in the coming years. == Camping == There are some yards where you can camp freely and even use the bathrooms outside. You can also cross the river and camp near the forest, where you'll be more touristic because of better roadisolated and able to light a fire if it's cold (or if you want to cook).
