Killarney‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

머크로스 호수에 있는 이 야생의 모래 해변은 방문하기에 아름다운 장소입니다. 물 건너편으로 페리 타는 곳과 이 호수와 북쪽의 Lough Leane이 만나는 곳에 점점이 떠 있는 섬들을 볼 수 있습니다. 이곳은 노출되어 있고 종종 바람이 많이 붑니다. 좋은 날을 잡으면 피크닉을 즐기기에 좋은 곳입니다.

nice view of lake

Beautiful panorama enjoyable on every day regardless of the weather

We really enjoyed visiting Ross Castle in Killarney. This castle is particularly impressive from the outside and the surroundings with the beautiful lake are just totally romantic. I personally didn't find the interior that spectacular, but once you've had a look around the castle you'll be rewarded with a fantastic view at the top!

Muckross Lake is one of those places that reveals new facets with every bend on the tour around Killarney. If you are on a bike, the route takes you through dense forests, over historic bridges and along the shores of this fascinating lake. Things get particularly exciting on the Muckross Peninsula, where the calm waters of Muckross Lake separate from the larger Lough Leane. On your way you pass the Brickeen Bridge, a narrow connection that takes you first to Brickeen Island and then on to Dinis Island - a nice place for a break in the café in the historic Dinis Cottage. In addition to the quiet riverside paths and impressive views, there is also the wild element here: at the "Meeting of the Waters" the watercourses from the Upper Lake, Muckross Lake and Lough Leane meet and create a strong current - a real nature experience. It is said that the local clan leader O’Donoghue once challenged the devil at this lake, which led to the creation of Devil’s Island – a small island that is now populated by sea eagles rather than the devil. These majestic birds, introduced as part of a reintroduction project, circle above the lake, giving the landscape a wild, unspoilt feel. For nature lovers, there is more to discover here: Muckross Lake is home to the rare Blunt-nosed Irish Charr, an endangered species of fish that is only found here and in neighbouring Lough Leane. Sika deer and the last population of Irish red deer also roam the forests along the shore – if you’re lucky, you might spot one of these animals.

Absolutely worth seeing place - a beautiful area.

In the middle of the green heart of County Kerry, where ancient forests meet proud mountains, lies a place where the stories of three lakes intertwine - the "Meeting of the Waters". Here, where the lakes of Killarney meet, you will not only find an impressive natural spectacle, but also a place of deep peace and quiet. The view of the old stone bridge, which blends harmoniously into the landscape, tells stories of times long past. Its robust masonry contrasts with the gently flowing waters below and the rapids that form a dynamic lifeline in this idyllic setting. Hidden behind the charming Dinis Cottage, which invites you to linger with its tea room, a small but inviting path begins. It leads you directly along the shore and offers fascinating views again and again - be it of the bridge or of the gentle play of light and shadow on the water. Here, near the toilet building, you can enjoy a particularly impressive panorama that reflects the power and beauty of nature in every detail. The well-maintained paths that meander through the area offer a pleasant experience for both beginners and experienced hikers. Although they could be a bit wilder and more pristine in some places, this does not detract from the overall atmosphere. You may occasionally meet other hikers, but there is enough space and peace for a moment of pause and wonder. Because that is exactly what makes the "Meeting of the Waters" so special: the combination of historical charm, vibrant nature and the opportunity to escape everyday life for a moment and immerse yourself in a world shaped by water, stone and history.

From here you have a better view of Muckross Lake and Lough Leane than from the summit of Torc Mountain, especially when the clouds are low. As Till has already written, there is an even better spot towards Torc Waterfall, as there are fewer trees there than at the marked point. However, you should be a bit fit for the 270-metre climb, mainly over steep, rocky steps from the path along the road below. This is the recommended direction of walking and it makes sense, as the steps are narrow (oncoming traffic is not so good) and it is better and safer to go up them than down. Alternatively, you can also make a detour from the bridge above the waterfall and then go back the same way.
