Itinerary description

|
Show original
Circular route to the spectacular Lough Tay lake. The first part begins on the road, then you follow a path, to start ascending to the top, it is well identified, at the top there is not a single mention of the Luggala peak, you have to imagine that you are at the top.
The descent to You love bridge begins on the ridge above the lake, the path is not well appreciated. After leaving the lake to one side, as you continue down, there are supposed to be lots of jugs, which act as beacons, but that path is full of ferns, between 1.5 and 2 m, which you have to move aside with your arms and legs, and sometimes you can't see where you step, and there are unevennesses and water holes even in August.
To get to You Love bridge you have to cross a stream, and you come to the road where the small bridge is.
You follow the path once you have crossed the road to the Djouce summit, the first part of the path is not marked, and you go through places where it is not comfortable to step because there are many mounds. Halfway up, when you start to climb, you begin to appreciate a path, and when you pass the hardest section of the climb, there is the last part, which cannot be lost, a wide path without vegetation that leads to the top. I didn't seem to see any plate with the name of the mountain, although the weather was bad and I didn't stop for too long to look for it. The descent has no loss, you just have to follow the wooden planks, and you will end up in different parking lots, the last section is by road.
Recommended hiking boots, long pants, and it is not recommended to do the route if there is no visibility, due to the descent of Luggala, which is confusing, and with adverse weather conditions, even a little dangerous.
