Itinerary description

|
Show original
One of the most beautiful trails to do in Ireland. It is quite simple, including the final climb that is enabled with a road marked quite bearable. Stunning views of the Killarney National Park during the ascent and at the top.

The route starts from the parking lot of Torc Waterfall, once we passed the beautiful waterfall we climbed a stepped section until we reach the parking lot from where you can also start the route (but then you would not go through the waterfall).

The route continues now for a track view, the old road to Kenmare. A turn marked on the right takes us along a path sometimes paved and sometimes with wooden planks that leaves us at the top of the mountain. From here we have an impressive panoramic view of the lakes of Killarney.
