아일랜드‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 폭포

Aasleagh Falls is a pretty waterfall not far from Leenaun. It's set in a typically beautiful and mountainous Connemara landscape, where the Erriff River empties into the Killary Fjord. The intriguingly named Devilsmother rises to the east, while Ben Gorm rises to the west. This part of the Western Way can be prone to flooding. If the trail is impassable, the N59 can be used instead.

very nice natural beauty

This waterfall is very impressive. I particularly like it because it's not a vertical drop, but rather a slanting one.

A beautiful cascade, Poulanass takes its name from the Irish Poll an Eas: hole of the waterfall. Runners on the Wicklow Way and the Spinc Trail will find it hard not to stop and admire the falls. However, in ascent, you might be glad of the chance to rest for a moment.

A beautiful waterfall, a little hidden :-)

The hike to O'Sullivan's Cascade feels like a little journey into another time. Hidden deep in Tomies Wood, the waterfall flows down several steps into the green depths. The path there leads through dense oak forest, which immediately captivates you. As soon as you have taken the first steps, you are surrounded by the calming sound of water and the rustling of leaves - an almost magical atmosphere. What I particularly liked: O'Sullivan's Cascade is often quieter and less crowded than the famous Torc waterfall. It is even said that whisky once cascaded down the rocks, or so the legend goes. But today it is pure, crystal-clear water that makes its way through the moss, creating small rainbows in the spray. Plan a short break right by the waterfall. There is something calming about the place, and the light that falls through the trees transforms the surroundings into a true natural painting. The path is a bit rocky in some places, but the view and the silence are definitely worth it.

Nestled in a secluded valley, Gleninchaquin Park offers a landscape that manages to combine peace and wildness. The path takes you past clear mountain lakes and small streams that leave their mark through the greenery. The waterfalls that run through the valley give the place a special dynamic - the largest is just a short walk from the car park and rewards all those who take the time to look at it up close. As you drive along the route, there are always opportunities to dismount and explore the surroundings. Old ruins from the Stone Age bear witness to a time long past that has found its quiet place here. The narrow paths and small hills repeatedly allow views into the distance, where the valley spreads out further and the landscape tells its story. The mixture of mountains, water and places steeped in history makes the park special - not a place you just pass through, but one you experience. A tip: If you are looking for peace and quiet away from the main paths, it is worth exploring one of the smaller paths that do not lead directly past the main waterfall.
