Hiking Highlight
Recommended by 2 hikers
Very few people know Lochailort. We hadn't planned to visit there either, because we were actually supposed to go to Glenfinnan, a particularly beautiful hiking area. The famous Glenfinnan Viaduct is also located here, today best known for the Harry Potter films. The photo motif 'Hogwarts train on viaduct' is so popular that hordes of enchanted Muggles make a pilgrimage there and also occupy the very last parking spaces 3 kilometers before and after Glenfinnan. We had underestimated the extent of this new cult and spontaneously changed our minds - a good decision! Lochailort is about a quarter of an hour's drive from Glenfinnan, a small and above all lonely place far away from the hustle and bustle, where the beauty of the Highlands penetrates you even more through the peace and quiet that prevails here. I think many people here see it like we do, Highlands and hustle and bustle just don't go together when it comes to enjoying nature (parking on the road at the start of the route).
