The hike through Killarney National Park takes you over narrow wooden walkways and a rustic bridge, deep into the picturesque moorland. There is something calming about the landscape here - endless meadows, isolated gnarled trees and small, gently babbling streams that perfectly round off the scenery. The narrow walkway ensures that you can get through the often swampy terrain with dry feet while you can fully enjoy the nature around you.
What particularly struck me is the change from dense vegetation to wide, open spaces. You really feel like you are in the middle of nature here, far away from the hectic pace of everyday life. The path winds gently through the moor and repeatedly leads you over small watercourses. At the narrow bridge you can pause and enjoy the peace and quiet while the water passes beneath you.
Keep your eyes open for the many details of the landscape. Especially in the early morning or late afternoon you can experience the special play of light here, when the sun is low and the tall grass glows in warm colors. Sturdy shoes are a must, even if the footbridge gives you support - it remains a nature trail with its own challenges.
This hike offers a mixture of adventure and enjoyment of nature without being subjected to great exertion. It is the perfect route to concentrate on what is important: the nature and silence of Killarney National Park. I really enjoyed experiencing the small streams and the wide moorlands in this way.
