Zufahrt zum Ausgangspunkt:The hike(s) start at Thethi, which is worth a longer stay. Thethi has become a "boom" tourist destination, and every Lonely-Planet readers seems to make it here. There are many local inns that offer multi-bed rooms and full board. The usual approach is from Koplik (between Shkodra and the border to Montenegro). There is a tarmac road up to Boge, for the remaining stretch a high-clearance vehicle is advisable. It is also possible to hike from Boge to Thethi.

Gropa e Bukura is the "beautiful hole" - a piece of grass that provides the ideal starting point for climbs of Maja e Jezerce or Maja e Popluks (see spearate trail). Gropa a Bukura is at 1700 meter altitude - 1000 Meter higher than Thethi.

We took a mule to carry camping equipment from Thethi to Gropat e Bukura, especially as we are were planning to stay several nights on the mountain. It should not bee too difficult to find a mule and his owner on short notice. It certainly provides for a different experience.

Gropat e Bukura consists of two depressions, the first (when coming from Qafe e Pejes) being the larger and deeper. Sheperds stay here during summer, and may sell cheese and bread. There is a spring nearby. The preferred camping site is 10 minutes higher further on, very flat, grassy, quiet and much fewer stinging nessels - though you have to walk back to the other Gropa to get your water. Take enough bottles or containers so you don't have to go too often. There is poor telephone coverage in the depressions, but climbing higher (or back) will solve the issue.
