Caha Pass is a scenic mountain pass which winds through the Caha Mountains, connecting the Beara Peninsula to the mainland.

The pass offers breathtaking views and is known for its long, gradual climbs, making it a popular route for cyclists.

At the top you'll meet a series of rock-hewn cycling tunnels marking the border of County Cork and County Kerry.

An incredible pass road, the climb is quite easy. Be careful in the tunnel at its top. And above all, enjoy the view!

The trail winds through the rugged landscape of the Caha Mountains and connects the Beara Peninsula with the mainland. The climb is gentle but long - ideal for getting into a steady rhythm and enjoying the surroundings to the fullest.

The highlight of this route, literally, are the tunnels that have been carved directly into the rock. They mark the border between Cork and Kerry - and offer a very special experience when you cycle through them. Especially on a slightly misty day, a mystical atmosphere is created here that makes cycling an unforgettable experience.

The views that accompany you on the way stretch across green valleys to the vastness of the Atlantic - simply breathtaking without being exaggerated. However, you should be careful in the tunnel - it is narrow and can be slippery, especially after rain. But that is exactly what makes this pass so special: the challenge paired with the peace and isolation of Irish nature.
