The rugged karst landscape of the Burren is an impressive backdrop for your bike tour. The grey limestone slabs that stretch across the hills seem almost alien, while the green of the grasses and plants fight for its place in between. In wet weather, the stones shimmer slightly, giving the area a mystical atmosphere.
Cycling over this rough ground is certainly a challenge, but it is worth it. The roads are sometimes narrow and uneven, but they always offer wide views of the landscape and make you feel like you are in another world. When you roll past one of the small lakes such as Pollnagollum Cave, where water collects clear and calmly among the stones, it is a good idea to take a short break - not only to relax your legs, but also to absorb the special tranquility of the place.
There are no perfectly developed paths here, but that is exactly what makes the Burren so exciting. The unpredictable terrain demands attention while allowing you to explore the wild beauty of this area at your own pace. Those who travel here should be prepared for the changing weather conditions, as the mood of the landscape changes quickly with the clouds.
