The last leg of the hike involves a 15-minute climb of an intermediate level so be prepared with your best, non-slippery shoes. Although the journey is not especially easy, the reward, as it often happens, is well worth your time and energy. *From Nderlysa to the Blue Eye it takes 40 minutes -1 hour of walk one way, among which only the first half is more difficult to climb while the second part is easy walking in the middle of the beech forest to get surprised then by the blue eye.
