Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές και πεζοπορίες Lough Acoose

After a steep climb up here you will have a fantastic view of the Lough Acoose and the mountains of the Macgillycuddy's Reeks. After rainfall, the soil on the pass can be soggy and therefore very muddy. If you are not careful, you sink slightly to the ankle.

The Bridia Valley is a beautiful and isolated area of Ireland. The valley is a cul-de-sac and the main attraction and reason for people visiting is the Kerry Way. Surprisingly, there is a great café called the Cooky Monster Café, which adjoins the Stepping Stone Guest House. Both are friendly, handy and well worth a visit.

Very beautiful area and always worth a visit.

Rising to 3,300 feet (1,000 m), Caher is Ireland's third highest peak, only topped by neighbouring Carrauntoohil and Beenkeragh. It's a high point on the classic Coomloughra Horseshoe, one of Ireland's most coveted mountain days. Its Irish name, Cathair na Féinne, means fortress of the Fianna, the mythical warriors and hunters of Irish legend.

Coming from Beenkeragh, there is an easy "right" bypass at almost all climbing spots. At the most difficult spot, this is missing; instead, there is a left path, which is very exposed and can be very dangerous in bad conditions. There is also a risk of ending up on a sheep path in the steepest terrain. I and local mountain guides recommend climbing over here instead of bypassing. If you want the best views and the most beautiful mountain experience, you can consistently follow the entire ridge over the blocks if you are fit for heights and have some climbing experience.

Beautiful landscape

Amidst the imposing countryside of County Kerry, Caher rises majestically towards the sky. Its name, Cathair na Féinne, which means "stone fortress of the Fianna", reveals a piece of its mystical past. If you follow his path, you will be walking in the footsteps of the ancient Irish warriors, the Fianna. Part of the impressive MacGillycuddy's Reeks, Caher stands at 1,000 meters and is the third highest peak in Ireland. From here, a panorama that is second to none unfolds before your eyes. The view sweeps over Beenkeragh and Carrauntoohil, two other giants of this mountain range, which look out over the land like ancient sentinels. The sight of these majestic mountains makes you stop and admire the endless expanse and beauty of the Irish landscape. But Caher is not only known for its views. Anyone who moves up here feels the challenge of walking on the ridge, especially when the wind blows strongly over the mountain ridges. This ridge path leads brave hikers along the summit ridge, giving them unparalleled views with every step. The mountain itself is divided into a double peak: While the western peak is a little more modest at 975 meters, the main peak rises proudly to 1,001 meters. Both offer a unique perspective of the surrounding mountains and valleys and will make every mountain lover's heart beat faster. So if you want to feel the pulse of the Irish mountains and follow in the footsteps of the legendary Fianna, then Caher is the perfect place for you. But don't forget to take extra care in strong winds. Nature shows itself here in all its raw beauty and power.

A pretty strenuous climb but worth the view. Unfortunately, we were unlucky that the summit was in the clouds, but it was nice that way.
