There are several different routes around Glendalough; this is due to the many tourists who explore this area and the paths that were created for them. (In fact, we meet more hikers around Glendalough and Glenmalure today than usual.) We take the steep climb up The Spinc and are rewarded with magnificent

The Irish saint St. Kevin (c. 498–618 AD), descended from a noble family in Leinster, was trained as a monk and then sought solitude – here in Glendalough as a hermit. Around 540, he withdrew to this remote valley to live in seclusion, asceticism, and prayer. Legends tell that he had deer, otters, and

The drizzle drizzles while the sun shines - that's Ireland.
The sun is almost blinding, minutes later, gray clouds hang in the mountains, a cool wind blows - and immediately the entire landscape is gray and gloomy: Ireland.
In terms of the landscape, the route itself, this was the weakest stage of the

Wicklow way 2: Knockree nach Roundwood
Unser Tag 2 beginnt mit einem sanften Start: über eine Farnwiese laufen wir bergab ins Tal des Glencree. Unter überhängenden Bäumen plätschert und windet er sich von und her; das ist sehr romantisch anzusehen. - Oft sind es breite, befestigte Wege oder Fahrwege, auf denen der Wicklow Way verläuft. Himbeeren…

We drive through long rows of suburban terraced houses in Dublin until we reach the outskirts of the city, Marlay Park, and that's where the journey begins:
That's where the Wicklow Way begins, which we've planned for the next few days.
The Wicklow Mountains, a mountain range in eastern Ireland with rounded

Dublin: All Guinness, or what?
No, not quite, but still a lot: Guinness is a major employer, develops the Liberties district where the brewery is located, donates money to street art, music festivals, and street festivals... and of course, there's Guinness in all the pubs.
But Dublin isn't just Guinness

Seagulls accompany us through Dublin (even when the sea isn't even visible), the sky is mostly gray, with occasional glimpses of sun, and occasional short showers – but there are colors everywhere, everything is bright, especially the pubs – it's clear: we've arrived in Ireland. 😎
We pass St. Stephen

Of course we would have been happy about a little more snow on the rocks and paths... so some things simply remained wintry gray.
We patrolled the Friedrichshalle (no one in front of us, no one followed us, no one wanted to climb the fortress) on the corresponding path around the fortress, which we had

After a rainy night (we slept well in the Mucklagh Hut shelter), the air and grass are still damp; the clouds drizzle us again. Large machines are loudly "harvesting" the trees on a slope. Then another road follows 😏, and the sun breaks through the clouds. The path leads upwards through a forest covered
