    If you are used to scree fields a short, hassle-free tour. Above it can be very windy and if the clouds are low the view is 10 m, but less tourists / pilgrims.

      Difficult but rewarding tour.

      Scree fields very demanding and require the right footwear.

      The Christian pilgrims annoy something, but one is quickly reconciled by the grandiose nature.

      The mountain has a funky, interesting and varied pre-Christian history. An employment with this is worthwhile in any case!

        Once at the top you have to decide if you just turn around and go down the same way again or if you go on and "descend" on "The Reek" further down. The trails are a bit unclear, but a nice experience, especially if you take your time and bypasses the "Priele" through the peat if necessary
