Giant's Causeway Visitor Centre to The Organ via Aird's Snout — Causeway Coast

Our next tour took us to the "Giant's Causeway" - a natural wonder and UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Giant's Causeway is located on the northern coast of County Antrim, near the small town of Bushmills. We started from a small car park below the Visitor Centre at a small train station. We crossed the tracks and first followed the signs to the Visitor Centre. From here we followed the Red Trail, which took us up the cliffs along the coast to the "Shepherd's Steps". To continue following the Red Trail we climbed the 162 steps down from the cliff. At the end of the stairs we first turn right and follow the path to the "organ" - these are meter-high basalt columns that look like giant church organ pipes. From here the path leads us to the "amphitheatre", one of the most beautiful formations of basalt columns. The semicircular basalt columns reach a height of almost 25 meters - simply magnificent 😍. The trail ends at the amphitheater and we walk back towards the organ. Here we keep to the right and walk towards the Giant's Causeway. On the way we pass "Fionn mac Cumhaill's Shoe" - a large stone that looks like a shoe and is said to have belonged to the giant Fionn mac Cumhaill. This is also the giant who, according to legend, is responsible for building the Giant's Causeway. Then we come to the "Giant's Gate", the path through the fracture point on the causeway. And then there are the 40,000 interlocking basalt columns that run into the sea in front of us - it's simply fascinating what nature has created. We spend some time here to really take in the natural wonder, you just can't get enough of it 😃. Then we follow the Blue Trail back to the Visitor Centre and back to our starting point. Unfortunately Komoot stopped recording from Giant's Causeway or I forgot to turn it back on 😅. So we're a few kilometres away from the viewpoint.
