On rainy days the paths turn into small streams. High, waterproof footwear is absolutely essential. A pair of socks to change should be in your luggage.

Narrow paths. The way is worth it anyway. Great views.

This hike takes you along narrow paths through a landscape that is impressive in every season. The path winds through hilly terrain, past two loughs, and offers you wide views over both bays. The combination of the lush green of the meadows and the deep blue of the Atlantic in the distance is particularly fascinating.

On rainy days, it can quickly become challenging here. The narrow paths turn into small streams, so waterproof footwear is an absolute must. A pair of dry socks in your backpack certainly won't hurt either. But it is precisely the changing weather conditions that make the hike a very special experience. In wind and rain, the landscape unfolds a wild, almost mystical atmosphere that completely captivates you.

And then there are the views. Breathtaking panoramas open up again and again - sometimes of the glittering loughs, sometimes of the rugged coasts. The sheep that graze everywhere here accompany you kindly on your way while you breathe in the fresh sea air.

For me, the hike was a real highlight. It may be a bit slippery in places, but it's worth the effort. Especially on sunny days, you can fully enjoy the incredible expanses and the interplay of land and water. If you're looking for a hike that offers seclusion and nature experiences, you've come to the right place.
