ベンロウワーズ国立自然保護区の天然記念物・トップ4

Being at the end of the group this has extensive views.

A big hill, but easy to climb.

The top of Scotland's 10th highest Munro. It is no mean feat getting your bike to the top. Expert MTB skills are required for the descent to the Bealach. If it goes wrong the consequences are high, make sensible decisions and walk you bike if you are unsure.

When the weather is good, numerous paragliders start here... I am always surprised that more doesn't happen here with so many at once

These sculptures are located directly at the parking lot

Just behind car park and easy to miss so do have a Quick Look (you can take short cut up to path this way too rather than going through car park)

Sadly shortly after this pic the rescue helicopter arrived to airlift an injured paraglider to hospital. 🤞

Thanks to the Ben Lawers car park, which is already at almost 500 meters altitude, the climb to this impressive peak is within reach of many hikers. From here, various hiking options open up: you can choose to climb Ben Lawers as a standalone goal, or take on the challenge and plan a ridge crossing that can cover up to seven Munros in a day. However, such an undertaking requires good planning, perseverance and ideally a second vehicle at the end of the hike. The landscape around Ben Lawers is known for its exceptional beauty. Views from the top extend well beyond Loch Tay and, on clear days, include much of the Southern Highlands. The region is also a paradise for nature lovers, with a rich variety of plant species, some of which can only be found here, and lively wildlife. For those who prefer a less demanding route, the route from Ben Lawers car park offers a relatively easy way to reach this impressive peak. The walk offers spectacular views and is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the majestic beauty of the Scottish mountains. Regardless of the route chosen, hikers should always keep an eye on weather conditions and prepare appropriately. Good footwear, waterproof clothing and navigation aids are essential. It is equally important to respect local regulations for Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and treat nature with respect.
