클라킬 최고의 사이클링 경로

Poyntzpass 남쪽의 잔잔한 운하 구간으로, 둑길이 좁은 물가를 따라 곧게 뻗어 있습니다. 강둑은 낮은 나무와 울타리로 약간 덮여 있어 구간에 친밀하고 푸른 인상을 줍니다. 물은 대부분 고요하며 탁 트인 농경지를 가로질러 직선을 이룹니다. 둑길에서 조용한 거리를 달리기에 이상적인, 고르고 교통이 없는 구간입니다.

The highest bar in County Louth along the Táin Way. A traditional Irish pub that offers a cozy interior with a warming fire and excellent food. A favourite amongst locals and hikers!

We had an amazing day thanks to Ring of Gullion Cycle Tours. Our bikes were well maintained and service was exceptional. We were advised by proprietor James to take the Cooley Tour through this app as the weather was spectacular and it was such good advice. Also recommended a stop off at Lumpers Bar and added a drink voucher for good measure. I can’t recommend these guys enough. The service and standard of care was truly amazing. Do yourself a favour and drop in here and do some cycling - or buy your own bike!!

테인 웨이(The Táin Way)는 카링포드(Carlingford)에서 시작하여 끝나는 40킬로미터(25마일) 순환 하이킹 트레일입니다. 고대 아일랜드 서사시 "타인 보 쿨랑게(Táin Bó Cúailnge)"의 이름을 딴 이 경로는 쿨리 반도(Cooley Peninsula)를 구불구불 지나며 해안 전망, 숲길, 산악 트랙을 다양하게 제공합니다. 일반적으로 이틀에 걸쳐 완료되며, 총 상승 고도는 약 1,025미터이고 검은색 배경에 노란색 화살표로 표시되어 있습니다. 하이킹을 하는 동안 청동기 시대의 석관묘와 같은 역사 유적지를 만나고 카링포드 라흐(Carlingford Lough)와 모른 산맥(Mourne Mountains)의 탁 트인 전망을 즐길 수 있습니다. 오메스(Omeath)와 레이븐스데일(Ravensdale)에 대체 출발점이 있어 다양한 시작 지점을 선택할 수 있습니다. 농경지 구간에서는 개를 동반할 수 없다는 점에 유의하시기 바랍니다.

There is something enchanted about this old, dilapidated stone hut - as if it were whispering stories of times gone by, when the canal was still full of life and the lock keepers worked here day and night. The walls, overgrown with greenery and moss, show how nature is slowly reclaiming its place. The building itself is only a ruin, but that is precisely what makes it somehow interesting. The mixture of broken brickwork and wild growth has something melancholic about it that fits perfectly into the tranquility of the surroundings. Right next to it there is a small rest area with a bench - ideal for stopping for a moment and taking in the atmosphere.

The setting is done with great attention to detail, and it almost feels like a quick picnic in the mountains when you sit down at the rustic tables and look into the distance. The patterned cups and saucers give the place a cozy touch and make the whole thing that little bit more special. The view of the surrounding hills and the relaxed atmosphere invite you to take a short break - perfect for resting your legs and just taking a breather. The coffee house is not only friendly to cyclists, but even offers bike rental for the Ring of Gullion. Handy if you need an extra boost for the next stage! The surroundings are green and spacious, a nice mix of Irish idyll and relaxed hospitality. The owners seem to take the attention to detail seriously, which is reflected in the little things like the decorative elements and the cozy atmosphere.

Camlough Lake is picturesquely nestled between the rolling hills of Slieve Gullion and the Ring of Gullion. Cycling along the narrow roads on the shore, you immediately feel the tranquility that emanates from the long stretch of water. The lake stretches for more than two kilometers and seems like a narrow, silent crack in the landscape - a peaceful place to take a short break or let your gaze wander over the water. I decided to take a little detour and cycled a little closer to the shore on a path. The water was almost still and reflected the range of hills that rise in the background. It may be a paradise for fishermen, but cyclists also enjoy the special atmosphere. The roads around the lake are not very busy and you can cycle in a relaxed manner without having to constantly pay attention to the traffic. One small criticism: some of the access roads are not well signposted, but if you look around a bit, you'll surely find a good place to get to the shore and enjoy the scenery.

The old walls of the two joined churches stand still and weathered amidst tall trees - you can almost feel the history in the air here. It is amazing that the roots of this place go back to the 6th century, when Saint Moninna founded a nunnery here. Today, the ruins from the 11th and 15th centuries still stand, and although much has fallen into disrepair, the remains give a sense of calm and past. A special detail is the large stone slab that is believed to be the tomb of Saint Moninna. It is a little hidden, but if you look for it, you will definitely find it. The old cemetery setting with the Celtic crosses and weathered gravestones adds to the mood. For me, it was a pleasant break from the ride. Here you can sit back for a few minutes, park your bikes and just soak up the atmosphere. It is one of those places that does not scream loudly for attention, but tells its stories in silence
