A cold wind climbs the mountain road as the bus curves through pines and limestone ribs; by late afternoon you stand at Theth’s stone track, the village roofs low and the valley air tasting of grass and wood smoke. The hills press close here—ridges and pastures that have shaped life for generations—and the Blue Eye waits like a hidden pupil in the folds above.
