Here the River Lee expands into large lakes, a paradise for birds. You walk on a narrow embankment in the middle of the water

Beyond the Horizon

If you are looking for peace and closeness to nature, then The Gearagh Nature Reserve is the right place. The vast expanses of the River Lee stretch out here like a living canvas, framed by reed-covered islands and meadows. On the narrow dam that leads through the water, it almost feels like you are walking in the middle of the river.

This nature reserve invites you to delve deeper into the life of Ireland's untouched nature. Here you can discover bird species that find refuge in the silence of this place - a real paradise for anyone who likes to travel with binoculars. The reflections of the clouds on the water and the shimmering grasses create a very special atmosphere that you simply have to experience.

What struck me personally is the original and almost enchanted atmosphere of this place. Nature reigns supreme here, and it's worth keeping your eyes open to discover the smaller, more inconspicuous beauties, such as the gentle rustling of the wind through the reeds or the play of light from the sun on the surface of the water.
