Should use a road bike

If you're on a road bike, the route from Ladies View to Muckross Park is definitely one of the highlights of Killarney National Park. The first part of the route takes you through stunning scenery, with sweeping views over the lakes and rolling hills that disappear into the distance. There's something rugged but calming about this area, and on two wheels you'll experience the panorama even more intensely.Ladies View is perfect for a quick stop - take a moment to enjoy the view. If the traffic is right, you can really pick up the pace here, but it's worth slowing down and taking in the surroundings. The narrow roads meander through the hilly terrain, and sometimes you have to watch out for hikers who are enjoying the view as much as you are.A tip: The Avoca Café is the ideal place for a little break. A hot coffee and a slice of cake with a view of this spectacular landscape - that's what makes the tour special. Then, refreshed, you continue towards Muckross Park, where even more impressive nature awaits you.The route is varied, from gentle climbs to fast descents where you can feel the wind in your face. For me, this tour was the perfect mix of sporting challenge and nature experience. And don't worry, even if there are a lot of hikers on the way, as a racing cyclist you will always find your way through this fascinating landscape.
