Little known, but certainly worth seeing, is the secluded glacial lake Barley Lake in the Caha Mountains near the small village of Glengarriff.
The lake is a remnant of the last Ice Age and has therefore been nestled in the boggy landscape of the hills that mark the beginning of the Beara Peninsula for over 10,000 years.

With a little sense of direction, a circumnavigation is possible.

A fantastic view of the lake and all the way to Kerry. There was still snow on the peaks around Carrauntoohil.

The path isn't always easy to find and is very boggy in places. Bring fresh socks, shoes, and trousers as a precaution. I sank up to my knees at one point. However, it had also rained heavily the previous days.
