Old Kenmare Road Forest, Killarney National Park

Recommended by 136 hikers out of 140

From the bridge in the north, we cross Old Kenmare Road here. The section further south of this point, just above the stream, is the most beautiful for me. It goes through a forest where elves and leprechauns are suspected and goats are sometimes found. Bicycles or even cars are not allowed here. This makes it all the more relaxing to take in the forest.

This Highlight is in a protected area

From the bridge in the north this goes over the Old Kenmare Road. The section further south of this point, a little above the stream, is the most beautiful for me. It goes through a forest where one suspects elves and goblins and sometimes goats are found. Bicycles or even cars are not allowed to drive here. The more relaxed you can let the forest work its magic on you.

The trees are a completely different sight than in Germany. The colors and stature of the trees are impressive. But it certainly depends on the time of year.
