エデンデリーのおすすめランニングルート

Very nice cafe-restaurant with good food and beautiful garden

There is probably no better way to get to Belfast city centre by bike.

Here, in the middle of the greenery, a pleasant path along the stream invites you to let yourself drift and enjoy the peace of nature. The idyllic paths meander through dense forest and reveal wide meadows in between - a perfect alternation between shady sections and clearings where the sun warmly tickles the skin.

The forest stretches along the River Lagan and has a surprising variety of plants and animals to experience as you drive through. Old oak trees and dense foliage cast shadows along the path and if you look closely you might spot a kingfisher by the water or hear the faint call of long-eared owls in the branches. What makes Belvoir special is its history. In the middle of the forest lies an old Norman motte from the 12th century - a reminder of times gone by that makes the forest seem even more mystical. The gigantic fungi and rare plants such as the scaly root also give this place its own charm. The trails here are pleasant and offer you the right mix of challenge and relaxation. For nature lovers and history buffs, Belvoir Park Forest is a special experience that will make you want to return again and again.

Lagan Meadows - a real gem for those who like it quiet but still want a bit of adventure. The path winds through gentle meadows and dense bushes, always accompanied by the gentle melody of the Lagan, which flows leisurely along here. It is a real play of colors, especially in autumn - the leaves shine in all shades of yellow and red, and the grass slowly loses its rich green. On the bike, nature comes directly to you here. The narrow paths are easy to ride, but every now and then there is a small puddle or a tight bend that keeps you alert. Sometimes a dog or a walker crosses your path, so it's better to slow down a bit and enjoy. There are also a few quiet corners where you can stop for a moment and let your gaze wander over the gentle ups and downs of the meadows. It is best to come here early in the morning or in the evening, when there is a special silence over the meadows. The clear air, the scent of damp moss and earth and the gentle rustling of the leaves almost make you forget that Belfast isn't that far away. A real contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city and ideal for a little break.

Nice at any time of the year but Autumn is especially beautiful for a riverside run

Located in South Belfast and once a private estate, Barnett Demesne is now a public park since 1951. The park itself includes plenty of walk/hike opportunities, gardens, an arboretum & a children's playground.

Running from Belfast to Lisburn, the Lagan Towpath is a pleasant, walk around the River Lagan with peaceful surroundings such as wetland, riverside meadows, & woodlands. The canal system itself dates back to the late 18th century and now offers a glimpse into the area's past.
