린 이드월 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

아름다운 호수지만, 부활절 기간에는 이 지역을 피하세요!

이 지역이 한때 석탄 채굴로 활발하게 개발되었던 시절을 떠올리게 하는 곳으로, 옛 슬레이트 레벨의 일부입니다.

The Devil’s Kitchen, known in Welsh as Twll Du ("Black Hole"), is a massive, dark crack in the basaltic cliffs of Clogwyn y Geifr, towering over the southern end of Llyn Idwal. Why the Name? It earned its English nickname because of the plumes of mist or steam that frequently rise from the chasm. To early observers, this looked like smoke rising from a chimney, leading to the legend that the Devil was busy cooking inside. The Experience The Path: A steep, rocky "staircase" of boulders leads you from the lake shore up toward the Kitchen. It is a strenuous climb that requires sure-footedness, as the ancient rock is often wet and slippery. The Scenery: As you ascend, you pass the Devil’s Appendix (the waterfall mentioned earlier) and gain incredible views back over the Cwm Idwal "amphitheatre." Geology: The area is a world-class geological site. You can see the Idwal Syncline here—a dramatic U-shaped fold in the rock layers caused by tectonic pressure millions of years ago. Botanical Rarety: The humid, sheltered environment of the Kitchen is one of the few places in the UK where rare arctic-alpine plants, like the Snowdon Lily, have survived since the last Ice Age. Once you reach the top of the Kitchen, the landscape flattens out into a high plateau containing the small, eerie lake of Llyn y Cŵn.

Canolfan Cwm IdwalClick to open side panel for more information is the primary visitor hub for the Ogwen Valley in Eryri National Park. Located along the A5 near National Trust - Ogwen CottageClick to open side panel for more information, it offers an interactive exhibition on local geology and 24-hour public toilets. Visitors can grab snacks and drinks from the kiosk before embarking on popular trails to Cwm Idwal and the surrounding Glyderau mountains.

Located at the western end of Llyn Ogwen, Pen Y Benglog (translated from Welsh as "Head of the Skull" or "Head of the Step") is a dramatic rocky headland that marks the boundary between the Ogwen Valley and the glacial trough of Nant Ffrancon. It is a place where history and geology collide, featuring ancient bridges and a sheer drop that creates one of the most famous viewpoints in Eryri (Snowdonia).

The Deer Path is a rugged and quiet mountain route in the Glyderau. While a section of the path traces the northern shore of Llyn Idwal, it is most famous as a steep, "hidden" ascent from Nant Peris to Llyn y Cûn. Offering a wilder alternative to the busy Ogwen trails, it provides breathtaking views of the Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) massif across the Llanberis Pass.

Idwal Gorge is a dramatic, steep-sided ravine located above Llyn Idwal in Eryri (Snowdonia). Known for the Idwal Staircase, it offers a challenging "Grade 2" scramble through mossy, water-worn rock and hidden cascades. In winter, it is a premier destination for ice climbers. Carved by glacial meltwater, this rugged cleft provides a raw encounter with the powerful geological forces that sculpted the iconic Ogwen Valley landscape.

Llyn Idwal is a stunning glacial lake nestled in the Glyderau mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia), North Wales. Designated as Wales’ first National Nature Reserve, its dramatic landscape was famously studied by Charles Darwin to prove glacial action. Legend says the lake is named after a drowned prince and that birds refuse to fly over its crystal-clear waters.
