Cycling through the Ring of Gullion, you'll always come across places where you just have to stop. The views up here are special - not spectacular in the usual sense, but rather calming and expansive. I took a short break and let my gaze wander over the wide valley. From the heights you can see the green landscape of Northern Ireland stretching gently into the distance. The quiet hills and scattered farms seem peaceful and remind you that sometimes it's the simple things that make a place special.With the trailer for the kids, it was nice to take a quick breather and enjoy the little break. The routes here offer enough variety so that you can really pedal and then roll comfortably again. Sometimes the wind is a bit stronger, but that's part of it if you want to experience nature to the fullest.A little tip: the viewpoints aren't always immediately visible, but if you have a good feeling for beautiful places, you'll find them all by yourself. A short stop and the moment is yours – and of course the vast landscape that lies at your feet
