Tips

Beyond the Horizon

November 6, 2024

Between Muckross Lake and Lough Leane, a world opens up that is so calm and yet so alive that you feel like you are in a painting. The two lakes, connected by a narrow peninsula and the Brickeen Bridge, offer you fascinating views of the smooth water and the surrounding forests while cycling. Especially early in the morning or late afternoon, the light bathes the landscape in soft colors - a special mood that is reflected in the play of clouds over the lakes.

On the way across the peninsula, you will encounter diverse nature and historical places such as Dinis Island, where a small café invites you to take a break. Here you can also see the "Meeting of the Waters", where the water from both lakes combines with that of the Upper Lake and forms a strong current - a silent but powerful spectacle of nature.

What makes this place special is the mixture of natural tranquility and the history that can be felt here. You can see that this landscape has grown over centuries and is still full of life - whether in the wings of the sea eagles circling over the lakes or in the gentle rustling of the trees along the paths. Tip: take a closer look at the islands in the lake - they tell their own little stories and add a special depth to this little piece of earth.
