Grunas Waterfall, nestled within the stunning Theth National Park, is a picturesque natural attraction in Albania, typically reached via a pleasant 45-60 minute hike from Theth village. The path is moderately accessible for most active individuals, though not wheelchair or stroller friendly, requiring sturdy footwear due to uneven terrain. While manageable for solo hikers, especially given the well-trodden path, guided options are available and recommended for navigating the remote region or combining with other local sights; many guesthouses in Theth offer local guides. The ideal visiting period is from late spring to early autumn (May-October), as heavy snow makes the area inaccessible during winter. The cost for visiting the waterfall itself is minimal (potentially a small park entry fee), but the main expenses are transportation to Theth (e.g., shared minivan from Shkoder around 10-15 EUR one-way) and accommodation. A typical visit to the waterfall lasts 2-3 hours round trip from Theth village, but a full Theth experience, including travel, usually warrants a 1-2 night stay. Visitors should bring water, snacks, and be prepared for limited mobile service; booking guesthouses and transport in advance is highly advised.
