コノートの峡谷・トップ6

ドゥー・ラフ・バレーを通る道は、交通量の少ない静かで狭いルートで、暗い湖と周囲の山腹の広大な眺めを十分に楽しむことができます。湖畔には、水、光、風景が美しく調和する写真映えする場所がいくつかあります。この区間は、デルフィ・バレー、ドゥーラフ・パスへの登り、そして控えめな1849年の記念碑に論理的につながっており、この区間全体をルート全体で最も印象的な区間の1つにしています。

この狭い湾は、岩がちな崖の間を14kmにわたって伸びており、河口では水深30mに達します。北岸はメイヨー側にあり、最も高いマウント・ムウィルレア（標高817m）を含む印象的な丘に囲まれています。

impressive cliffs

Not quite as beautiful as in Norway, but still a view over the fjord that is unique in Ireland.

The fjord has cut deep into the interior of the country.

The Gleniff Horseshoe has spectacular views of the Dartry Mountains and Donegal Bay. The valley was formed during the last Ice Age when the entire valley was carpeted in one kilometre thick ice. When the ice melted and retreated, it hollowed out this picturesque valley.

As the Glenanniff River travels down from the mountains above, it has eroded the local blue limestone to form a deep river valley. Fowley’s Falls is not a single drop waterfall; instead, it cascades in a series of drops over the exposed bedrock to form a spectacular torrent of water rushing through the steep valley towards Lough Melvin.
