We found one map in English, but we still got lost. No signs here, just the same red/white marks on the rocks for all the trails.
After rock-hopping up the wrong beautiful river canyon, we finally got back on track and made it to the waterfall for some photos and our picnic lunch. We had it all to ourselves!
On the way down, finding a trail intersection (arrows with destinations written on rocks), we decided to checkout the Kanioni, the trail taking us down to a little wooden bridge overlooking a narrow gorge, reminescent of Slovenia.
Now could we find the Lock-In Tower? Lock-In towers are unique to Albania, and we knew there was one still remaining near Theth. When a blood fued errupted, like the Hatfield and McCoy's, the men would be locked in stone towers by their families and the ladders drawn up. Food was delivered by the families, and the men would remain in the tower until the despute was settled- in some fashion. The tower was set up as it would have been, livestock below, living space above, with pictures on the walls of some tough looking dudes!
