nice view of lake

If you would like to walk around the lake, bring a good pair of shoes, socks, and rain jacket. The lookouts are beautiful, and there are a few great places for a trail snack. Don't forget to pack water. If you aren't game for a walking hike, we saw many people on their bikes, and there is a driving path that goes part way around the lake with several pull off spots, if you are in a bit of a rush.

A beautiful salt lake, separated from the sea by a narrow passage. In the center of the lake a small island with the ruins, unfortunately not visible from the coast, of Clohane Castle. From here the path to Knockomagh starts, very steep but with a 360° view of the entire valley.

We really enjoyed visiting Ross Castle in Killarney. This castle is particularly impressive from the outside and the surroundings with the beautiful lake are just totally romantic. I personally didn't find the interior that spectacular, but once you've had a look around the castle you'll be rewarded with a fantastic view at the top!

Muckross Lake is one of those places that reveals new facets with every bend on the tour around Killarney. If you are on a bike, the route takes you through dense forests, over historic bridges and along the shores of this fascinating lake. Things get particularly exciting on the Muckross Peninsula, where the calm waters of Muckross Lake separate from the larger Lough Leane. On your way you pass the Brickeen Bridge, a narrow connection that takes you first to Brickeen Island and then on to Dinis Island - a nice place for a break in the café in the historic Dinis Cottage. In addition to the quiet riverside paths and impressive views, there is also the wild element here: at the "Meeting of the Waters" the watercourses from the Upper Lake, Muckross Lake and Lough Leane meet and create a strong current - a real nature experience. It is said that the local clan leader O’Donoghue once challenged the devil at this lake, which led to the creation of Devil’s Island – a small island that is now populated by sea eagles rather than the devil. These majestic birds, introduced as part of a reintroduction project, circle above the lake, giving the landscape a wild, unspoilt feel. For nature lovers, there is more to discover here: Muckross Lake is home to the rare Blunt-nosed Irish Charr, an endangered species of fish that is only found here and in neighbouring Lough Leane. Sika deer and the last population of Irish red deer also roam the forests along the shore – if you’re lucky, you might spot one of these animals.

This hike takes you through a breathtaking gorge, which opens into the vast, tranquil landscape of the lake through the "gate." The narrow path winds between steep rock faces, offering you repeatedly impressive views of the clear water and the surrounding hills. You can literally feel nature setting the pace here – the calm waves of the lake, the green vegetation stretching over the rocks, and the recurring feeling of vastness. The path is narrow and a bit challenging in places, but that only makes the hike all the more exciting. I particularly liked the small bridges that repeatedly cross the route – perfect for pausing to admire the scenery. Andy's tip is a good one: There are numerous photo spots along the route that you shouldn't miss. One tip: Even though the route is quite popular, you can usually find a quiet corner to take in the scenery. Early morning or late afternoon is the best time to fully enjoy the hike and escape the crowds. It's also worth exploring the route on foot or in one of the traditional horse-drawn carriages – this way you avoid the busy roads and experience the area more intensely. For me, the "Gate & Lake" route is a place of contrasts: from the narrow passage through the gate to the vast, tranquil lake landscape. It's a hike that's not only physically challenging but also offers repeated moments of peace and reflection. Perfect for connecting with the wild beauty of Ireland.
