막히다 최고의 라이딩 경로

The well-signposted mountain bike trails take you through dense forests and offer breathtaking views of Carlingford Lough and the Mourne Mountains. The descent from the Cloughmore Stone, a huge boulder that was transported here during the last ice age, is a particular highlight. However, some sections are technical and require a certain level of riding technique. The trails can become slippery in wet weather, so caution is advised. Another plus point is the proximity to the charming village of Rostrevor, where you can relax in one of the cafes after the tour.

There’s heaps to do when you visit Kilbroney park so bring a picnic, kids, dogs, bikes, walking boots and enjoy the day. Start at the Visitor Centre and learn about the forest and extraordinary Cloughmore Stone. There are tennis courts, play area, sports fields, an arboretum, walking and bike trails in the forest. Fiddler’s Green was once used for local entertainment and festivals.

There's something special about the atmosphere inside - the light-flooded rooms, the smell of freshly baked pastries and the lively background noise make the place a little oasis for cyclists. Perfect for getting out of the saddle for a moment and recharging your batteries with a good coffee. There's a wide range of snacks and pastries on offer and the relaxed atmosphere invites you to stay a little longer than you had originally planned. Even though it can get a little crowded at times, you can usually find a spot to look out over the hustle and bustle.

A quick stop at the coffee and snack hut next to Lumper's Bar is just the thing to recharge your batteries after a challenging stage. The small hut offers everything a cyclist's heart desires: fresh coffee, sweet waffles and hearty snacks that give you the energy you need for the next stretch. With the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the air and the cozy atmosphere, it's easy to take a quick breather and rest your legs here. The location right on the road makes it an ideal stopover, even if the traffic can be a bit noisy at times. But hey, who cares about small things with such beautiful surroundings and typical Irish hospitality? The colorful bench and the small decorations give the place a special charm that invites you to linger - even if it's just for a moment.

There's riverside walks, including the Fairy Glen and Narnia Trail, and an arboretum. The two mile forest path showcases panoramic views over the beautiful Carlingford Lough. There is also a Play Park with children's play area and tennis courts, an Information area and a cafe.
