The path that leads through the dense forest seems to lead not only through the greenery of today's Ireland, but also through time itself. The further you wander, the closer you come to the heart of Múchán, as it is called in the Irish language becomes.

The destination of the hike is the impressive, late Bronze Age hill fort Mooghaun. The silence of the place, broken only by the gentle whisper of the wind and the occasional bird song, gives an idea of what it felt like to stand here thousands of years ago. It's not hard to imagine the people who once built these walls and appreciated the expansive views over the surrounding lands.

According to recent excavations, the site is in excellent condition. It occupies an entire hill, offering visitors a 360-degree view that highlights both the region's natural beauty and its historical significance. Mooghaun is believed to be the largest hill fort in Ireland, making it a major attraction in the area.
