カレドニア運河のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Spectacular waterfall in Glen Nevis. Just along from these falls is the wire bridge you have to use to cross the river.

Entering the castle at this strategically important location is currently not possible due to renovation work.

Beautiful landscapes. Especially the view into the gorges. Steadfastness required. Many uneven rock steps. Hiking boots are highly recommended. Huge problem: Borderline black fly infestation. Mosquito nets or very good mosquito spray are recommended in the summer months!

The double waterfall falls approximately 12 meters before falling another 6 meters into the Witch's Cauldron. A charming fairy story is attached to the falls. The cattle in the district were suffering from an unexplained malaise and the Camerons consulted a seer about it. The seer attributed the malaise to an old hermit woman who lived beside the lake and said that it would persist until the witch was killed. The Camerons therefore sought her out at her cottage, but when they got there all they found was a cat which they set upon and wounded. However, it escaped and they followed the trail of blood to the Chia-aig Falls where they found the dying cat. They were about to finish the wretched animal's life when it let out a terrifying scream and leapt into the pool. As it leaped, it changed into the witch they were looking for. The Camerons stoned the old hag to death and the malaise did not recur.

The road north of the lake is very beautiful and secluded, and you can drive along it virtually forever; it certainly feels like forever. You usually have to turn back at some point.

The northern end of the West Highland Way national trail is at the end of the high street in Fort William. The trail stretches 96 miles (154 Km) from Milngavie to Fort William. The statue “Man with Sore Feet” was made by David Annand and has marked the end since 2010. The West Highland Way Race normally ends at the leisure centre or the Nevis Centre.
