Hoe het ontstond
The pool is a karst spring, coloured by the depth and clarity of the water welling up through the rock — a different place from the better-known Blue Eye near Sarandë in southern Albania. It sits along the Black River drainage reached from the hamlet of Nderlysa.
Wat je ziet
Tijdens een bezoek
The intensely blue pool, the little waterfall that feeds it, and the clear stream running through the gorge. Some visitors brave a swim in the icy water, and the forested walk in is part of the experience.
Hoe te bezoeken
Reached on a longer hike up the gorge from the Nderlysa area on rough mountain paths; allow a good part of the day and carry water and sturdy shoes.
Beste tijd
Summer, for the walk and the water

Goed om te weten
No. This is a separate spring pool in the Theth valley in the Albanian Alps, not the better-known Blue Eye of southern Albania near Sarandë.
Some visitors do, but the spring water is very cold year-round, so most just admire the colour and dip their feet.
