↔15.17 km ↗+856 m ↘-862 m ◔6h 45 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Ireland
A very beautiful hike in Kerry through the famous Gap of Dunloe: a beautiful series of lakes, ravines and passes, traversed by flocks of sheep, in an almost arid mountain atmosphere as you approach the summit. A great option for escaping the crowds that come to the Gap of Dunloe by horse-drawn carriage or car. Breathtaking views of the Gap of Dunloe, Killarney's Upper Lake, the Black Valley, the ocean (to the west and south-west) and Ireland's highest peak, Carrauntuohil. This hike can be done as a round trip or a loop.
