At Gjergj Grrela House you will face the historic hospitality of Northern Albania, where traditions established by the Canon of Lek Dukagjini are still preserved. Situated in the center of Thethi where it is protected by three Radohima mountains, Sheniku, Papluku, over 2500m above sea level. Behind this house is a very interesting landmark tool. The wood plow is one of the most primitive tools used for agricultural land cultivation. It mainly consists of wood and it ought to be dragged by oxen, horses or even humans, and therefore did not carry out deep soil plowing. It could only be used in lands of a small area in the mountains.

The wooden plow was invented around 3500 years before Christ. Before this time, men cultivated the land with sticks and stones. To fulfill its function, it was firstly dragged by humans and then by animals (one, two, three and even more). Through these means, the wood plow has provided food for humanity for at least 5,000 years. The industrial revolution of the 19th century also industrialized and updated the plow, replacing its wooden compounds with steel. While in the 20th century, most parts of the plow were made of steel (with the exception of the two wooden rods connecting the device to the animal). The invention of the internal combustion engine also led to the industrialization of agriculture tools, putting the plow out of function. However, this kind of tool for land work continued to be used in Albania until recently. Currently the wooden plow can be found in extremely isolated areas in the Albanian Alps, where their replacement with modern mechanical tools was not yet possible. The plow is mostly used to work small plots of land, especially for cultivating corn and beans. In the mountains, the plow is dragged by a horse, while the farmer walks alongside it about 3m further back, guiding it by a long stick called a hosten**.
