Step into Derrycunnihy Nature Reserve on the boardwalk. This makes for an novel hike in the lush green woodland and a great way to keep your feet dry.

Beyond the Horizon

October 17, 2024

The boardwalk in the Derrycunnihy Nature Reserve offers a unique hiking experience – almost like a floating path through the lush, green landscape. A stroll here promises a relaxing walk, elegantly bypassing the wetlands and keeping your feet dry, even when the ground around you is boggy and wet.

The wooden walkway leads you through dense forests, past tall grasses and gnarled trees that sometimes lean over the path. What immediately struck me was the tranquility. You hear nothing but the rustling of the wind in the leaves and, occasionally, the babbling of a small stream in the distance. The boardwalk not only provides comfort but also a completely new perspective on the landscape. It almost feels as if you're floating lightly through the nature reserve.

While the boardwalk is generally easy to walk on, sturdy shoes are recommended for a secure footing. Especially when it's damp, the wood can become slippery in places. And keep your eyes peeled – particularly in the mornings, you might encounter shy animals hanging around the edge of the boardwalk.

For me, this hike was a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. The narrow path and the unspoiled surroundings create a special atmosphere that immerses you in the lush green wilderness of Ireland.
