Tips from the Community
Fast rolling gravel forestry roads that switch between cutting through dense forest and open terrain with far-reaching views across this wild landscape.

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.
