very nice natural beauty

The boardwalk in the Derrycunnihy Nature Reserve offers a unique hiking experience – almost like a floating path through the lush, green landscape. A stroll here promises a relaxing walk, elegantly bypassing the wetlands and keeping your feet dry, even when the ground around you is boggy and wet. The wooden walkway leads you through dense forests, past tall grasses and gnarled trees that sometimes lean over the path. What immediately struck me was the tranquility. You hear nothing but the rustling of the wind in the leaves and, occasionally, the babbling of a small stream in the distance. The boardwalk not only provides comfort but also a completely new perspective on the landscape. It almost feels as if you're floating lightly through the nature reserve. While the boardwalk is generally easy to walk on, sturdy shoes are recommended for a secure footing. Especially when it's damp, the wood can become slippery in places. And keep your eyes peeled – particularly in the mornings, you might encounter shy animals hanging around the edge of the boardwalk. For me, this hike was a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. The narrow path and the unspoiled surroundings create a special atmosphere that immerses you in the lush green wilderness of Ireland.

the path is slightly slippery and off the trails but it's worth a look

The trees are a completely different sight than in Germany. The colors and stature of the trees are impressive. But it certainly depends on the time of year.

Above the Torc Waterfall, the Old Kenmare Road leads over a stone bridge typical of Ireland. From there you can see a smaller waterfall. You can access the water on both sides of the bridge and have a picturesque view of the bridge.

From the bridge in the north this goes over the Old Kenmare Road. The section further south of this point, a little above the stream, is the most beautiful for me. It goes through a forest where one suspects elves and goblins and sometimes goats are found. Bicycles or even cars are not allowed to drive here. The more relaxed you can let the forest work its magic on you.

You should have good shoes and weatherproof clothing with you. The wind can be strong at the top, although there is almost no wind at the bottom. It's sometimes steep over rocks and well-developed over wire-covered wooden planks to the summit. Weather permitting, you have a great view of the surrounding hills and lakes of Killarney National Park from the top.
