For this view you have to leave the path and walk about 20 meters up the small hill. The view that presents itself rewards everyone who takes this effort.

Beyond the Horizon

October 17, 2024

The view of Lough Akeen is one of those moments that stays etched in your memory. The short detour off the main path takes you to a hill from which you can see both the deep blue lake and the vastness of the Atlantic. It's a small effort that is more than worth it - after just a few meters you are rewarded with a panorama that makes you pause.

The lake nestles in the rocky landscape, surrounded by hills that slope down to the sea in gentle waves. On clear days the water looks almost like a mirror, while on the horizon the mountains and the coast merge. There is no better opportunity to take a break, take a deep breath and enjoy nature in all its tranquility.

The path here is well signposted, but the last section requires a little surefootedness. The rocks can be slippery, especially after rainfall, so good footwear is recommended.
