Be surprised at how the Celts traded copper all throughout Europe and even to Africa

A beautiful waterfall, a little hidden :-)

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!

Between Muckross Lake and Lough Leane, a world opens up that is so calm and yet so alive that you feel like you are in a painting. The two lakes, connected by a narrow peninsula and the Brickeen Bridge, offer you fascinating views of the smooth water and the surrounding forests while cycling. Especially early in the morning or late afternoon, the light bathes the landscape in soft colors - a special mood that is reflected in the play of clouds over the lakes. On the way across the peninsula, you will encounter diverse nature and historical places such as Dinis Island, where a small café invites you to take a break. Here you can also see the "Meeting of the Waters", where the water from both lakes combines with that of the Upper Lake and forms a strong current - a silent but powerful spectacle of nature. What makes this place special is the mixture of natural tranquility and the history that can be felt here. You can see that this landscape has grown over centuries and is still full of life - whether in the wings of the sea eagles circling over the lakes or in the gentle rustling of the trees along the paths. Tip: take a closer look at the islands in the lake - they tell their own little stories and add a special depth to this little piece of earth.

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.

nice spot to have a break

Absolutely worth seeing place - a beautiful area.

The Muckross Lake Bridge is more than just a connection between two shores. It is a gateway to a world full of myths, natural wonders and historical treasures. Deep in the heart of County Kerry, where Muckross Lake (or Middle Lake) gently meanders through the countryside, you'll discover a piece of Ireland unrivaled in its beauty and history. Begin your journey at the magnificent Muckross House and Gardens, a historic gem overlooking the eastern part of the lake. From here, a varied hiking trail leads through dense forests, lined with old trees and the constant, quiet murmur of water. The southern, paved path is a paradise for cyclists, while the northern path, an unpaved forest path, takes you through the pristine forest. After winding your way through the greenery, you step out of the shade of the trees and the Muckross Lake Bridge appears before you. This 18th-century pointed arch bridge is a testament to Irish architecture and offers a picturesque backdrop. From here you can enjoy the best views of Muckross Lake, framed by the majestic mountains in the distance. The water catching the reflection of the sky, the calm breeze sweeping across the lake, and the quiet stories the wind whispers make you pause. This bridge is not only a place of peace but also a place of legends. The legend of O'Donoghue and the devil who once threw a huge piece of rock at him creates a vivid image of heroic battles and mythical creatures. And as you walk across the bridge, you feel the echoes of these stories beneath your feet. There's so much more to discover, from the hidden paths that lead to more sights to the boat tours that take you deeper into the heart of this magical place. No matter which route you choose, Muckross Lake and its bridge will captivate you with their unparalleled beauty and rich heritage.
