더블린 최고의 러닝 경로

Upper Reservoir는 Glenasmole 계곡에서 가장 높은 곳에 위치한 호수이며, 아래쪽 이웃보다 훨씬 더 야생적이고 외딴 느낌을 줍니다. 남동쪽 해안의 이 지점에서, 당신은 더블린 산맥의 나무가 우거진 경사면이 깊고 어두운 물 속으로 직접 가라앉는 것처럼 보이는 수원지의 심장부로 깊숙이 들어가게 됩니다.

고요한 글레나스몰 계곡에 있는 길쭉한 저수지 지역으로, 넓은 자갈길이 어퍼 및 로어 저수지를 따라 완전히 차 없는 상태로 이어집니다. 이 풍경은 탁 트인 물, 소나무 숲, 거친 언덕이 어우러져 있으며, 더블린 산맥을 향한 정기적인 조망을 제공합니다. 이 경로는 평탄하고 조용하여 산악 지역으로의 진입로로 이상적이거나 더 긴 여정에서 편안한 자연 구간으로 좋습니다. 새, 물새, 그리고 때로는 언덕의 사슴들이 이 지역에 뚜렷한 자연 보호 구역의 느낌을 줍니다.

공원에 있는 큰 오벨리스크로, 관광객들이 이해할 만하게 끌어당깁니다.

A large obelisk at the entrance to Phoenix Park. It was completed in 1861.

Phoenix Park is enclosed by a wall and feels less like a traditional park and more like a large, open space. It offers a variety of attractions and points of interest, including the Phoenix Monument, the Wellington Monument, the Pabst Cross, Ashtown Castle with its Victorian kitchen garden, a prehistoric burial mound (over 5,500 years old), and playgrounds. You can explore the park on foot or even rent e-bikes specifically for this purpose. Anyone with more time to spare during their visit to Dublin should definitely make time for this park.

For nature lovers in Ireland who want to explore it on the road, I recommend spending a few hours in Phoenix Park rather than visiting a cathedral or museum. Very close to the city center, yet so sprawling that it almost feels distant, it can be truly breathtaking in the early morning or late afternoon. Following the various trails, wandering through its woods and clearings, can provide thrilling encounters with small herds of deer. Highly recommended!

A beautiful sandy beach right in Dublin. It's busy, at least in the evenings, but not overcrowded.

The park is Dublin's green lung, attracting both residents and tourists. At 7 km², it is one of the largest city parks in Europe and twice the size of Central Park. This beautiful park, with its woods and meadows, originated from an area established as a hunting reserve in the 17th century. It wasn't until 1747 that the area became a public park. Today, in addition to pure nature, the park also features several popular attractions such as Dublin Zoo and the Wellington Monument.
