Tips from the Community

May 20, 2025, Cuilcagh Mountain Summit Cairn

Great walk, very touristy but it's worth the detour! Be careful of the crowds (on weekends and in summer I dare not imagine!). However, BE CAREFUL, the summit is not accessible, you have to pass the protective barriers which allow the wild nature to be preserved from our steps and from this crowd of people. If we, the Komoot community, start to do this all the tourists will allow themselves and the landscape will never be so beautiful again! (Ps: no need to climb to the top to already see enough in the eyes!)

The path breaks off onto a boardwalk that takes you deep into the heart of Cuilcagh Mountain Park through pastures and blanket bog. The final ascent is known as the 'Stairway to Heaven' and features a steep section of wooden steps that go on for 1.5km.

This is a fantastic viewpoint offering extensive vistas across endless forests, bogland, and the highs and lows of the valley. The views extends over Cuilcagh Mountain and toward Benaughlin and Upper Lough Erne.

This specimen is thought to be the ancestor of all Irish Yews worldwide as they have to be propagated from a cutting otherwise they revert to common yews. Due to their compactness and attractive columnar shape they are common in churchyards throughout the world.
