발리킬 최고의 라이딩 경로

Here, too, passersby encounter a "war memorial" in the center of town. Everywhere in the villages and towns, victims were mourned during the terrible wars (especially, but not only, in the first half of the last century) – often young people who had to endure suffering and pain and ultimately paid with their own lives for their service to their fatherland far from home. Their names are always inscribed on the respective memorial to at least keep the memory alive.

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.

gravel paths and a tarmac road up the middle, also has public toilets

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.

A quick stop at the coffee and snack hut next to Lumper's Bar is just the thing to recharge your batteries after a challenging stage. The small hut offers everything a cyclist's heart desires: fresh coffee, sweet waffles and hearty snacks that give you the energy you need for the next stretch. With the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the air and the cozy atmosphere, it's easy to take a quick breather and rest your legs here. The location right on the road makes it an ideal stopover, even if the traffic can be a bit noisy at times. But hey, who cares about small things with such beautiful surroundings and typical Irish hospitality? The colorful bench and the small decorations give the place a special charm that invites you to linger - even if it's just for a moment.

The Craigmore Viaduct is an impressive structure, with its 18 arches spanning the Camlough River Valley, dominating the landscape of south Armagh. As I cycled along the gently curving roads, the viaduct suddenly appeared on the horizon - a massive but elegant sight. The tall stone arches seem to effortlessly support the train traffic that runs between Dublin and Belfast. I stopped for a moment to take a closer look at the structure. It is fascinating to know that this structure has been standing here since 1852, designed by Irish engineer John Benjamin Macneill. The highest arch rises 126 feet, and standing under it you can really appreciate the scale and importance of this structure to the region. The surroundings are just perfect for putting your bike down and taking some time to look at the view. Perhaps a small lookout point with information about the history of the viaduct would be a nice addition, but even without it it is a worthwhile stop along the way. We continue, but the image of the arches remains in our minds.
