Donsideの湖・トップ7

A waypoint on the circular path. Trees need trimming.

After the smooth gravel on the north side of Glen Avon, you'll encounter more rugged and adventurous trails here. However, as in the rest of the Scottish Highlands, the higher up the climb, the more beautiful the scenery becomes. With a gravel bike or mountain bike, you can enjoy beautiful cycling all the way to Loch Builg, or beyond.

A beautiful small lochan close to Dinnet

In the height of summer this can completely dry up. There’s a boardwalk across the pond to get some better views.

great spot for bird watching and bird song. look out for siskins!

you can stay in Dinnet and start a hike from there through Muir of Dinnet, Loch Kinord, Burn o'vat, Campus o may and on to Ballater along Deeside. Highly recommended for bird watching, dragonflies, and a varied landscape - pine forests, lochs, heaths, pear bog and marsh, river side, and glacial geological features :)

It's largely part of a nature reserve, and a good place for wildlife spotting. Various geese, ducks, red kites and other birds in particular. But also lots of butterflies. Note that water sports are not allowed March to September to protect the birds.

The queel burn is an interesting geological feature surrounded by an esker. In the summer months the small lochan often dries up, and occurrence becoming more and more common with the warmer weather here.
