웨스트 스코틀랜드 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Fine rocky summit - but very windy!

Amazing views on the Loch.

Nice to look at from a distance, but rather a sad sight up close

CAUTION from stage 3 onwards, and especially from the bridge. The end of the proposed route is entirely muddy, sometimes dangerous and simply unpleasant. Storm Eowyn has blurred the paths and brought down trees. Prefer the main route.

Ben Dolich (857m) is located on the western edge of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, southwest of the Cobbler mountain. The route to the summit begins at the famous Rest and Be Thankful viewpoint. This "relatively" short hike (approx. 7.5-9 km) offers magnificent 360° views and initially leads up forest paths (more like small streams after rain) and steep, grassy slopes, often quite damp. A short scramble (5 m) requires descending. If the rock is dry, this is no problem at all. If it's wet, be careful, but it's easily doable, with nice footholds. The summit is a few hundred more (flatter) meters to climb. From up here: a sensational 360° view! Conclusion: it's worth it, relatively. rarely used, never really difficult, only steep in places but still never easy enough to walk absentmindedly.

Great view of Loch Lochomond National Park

Visited on the Arran Coastal Way. Impressive caves.

nice pub & restaurant, good food & good price. good few stuffed Scottish wildlife in cases also.
