This route takes you off the beaten track through the rugged yet impressive landscape of the Beara Peninsula. The narrow roads wind past green meadows, where the occasional sheep will curiously gaze at you, and offer frequent glimpses of the rugged coastline and the vast ocean beyond. The route is mostly paved, but there are occasional sections with rougher surfaces – perfect for inducing a sense of adventure without becoming too demanding.Along the way, a small café invites you to take a break. The traditional charm of the building and the comfortable outdoor seating are ideal for briefly parking your bikes and enjoying a cup of tea or coffee. It's especially beautiful here in the early morning, when the first rays of sun gently illuminate the mountains and the landscape is bathed in a slightly misty light.The back road may not be the fastest route, but that's precisely what makes it so appealing. A route for all those who like to travel away from the hustle and bustle and appreciate the small, quiet moments on their tour.
