- Grunasi Waterfall (Ujëvara e Grunës) — a short, scenic walk from the village that finishes at a clean plunge pool tucked into a limestone amphitheater; great for a cooling dip and the most obvious natural highlight you can reach on foot.
- Theth Lock-in Tower (kulla e Ngujimit) — one of the village’s stone tower houses used historically for protection and seclusion; stepping inside gives a real feel for mountain family life and the vendetta-era architecture you don’t see in cities.
- Theth Ethnographic/Museum House — a small, community-run display inside a traditional house showing tools, clothing and household items; compact but priceless for understanding everyday life in the Albanian Alps.
- Theth Church and cemetery — a modest stone church at the heart of the village whose simple graveyard

- Theth Ethnographic/Museum House — a small, community-run display inside a traditional house showing tools, clothing and household items; compact but priceless for understanding everyday life in the Albanian Alps.
- Theth Church and cemetery — a modest stone church at the heart of the village whose simple graveyard and frescos (if present) tell stories about local faith, family ties and the village’s past generations.
- Traditional stone houses and narrow alleys — wandering the lanes is an attraction in itself: thick stone walls, slate roofs, and family courtyards where you’ll often meet locals folding cheese or mending tools.
- Theth River and footbridge — a calm riverside stroll along clear mountain water, with a wooden bridge used by locals; good for photography, picnic stops, and watching village life at river level.
- National Park visitor point / park office — the practical spot for maps, current trail info and local conservation context; worth a quick stop before hikes so you don’t waste time or miss seasonal warnings.
- Panorama viewpoint above the village — a short climb up the slopes behind Theth opens to sweeping views of the valley, church and surrounding peaks; the light at sunrise or late afternoon is lovely and very photogenic.
- Overnight in a local guesthouse (homestay) — not just accommodation: staying with a family gets you home-cooked mountain food, stories, and the chance to hear local songs or learn how local foods are made — a real cultural exchange.
- Shepherd trails and nearby summer meadows — accessible right from the village, short walks up to summer pastures put you in touch with transhumance life, stone shepherd huts and panoramic grazing landscapes.
