• Cobh and Huntington Castle

    Jul 9–10, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    In Cobh heimmers gnosse fein z'ässe, Bier trinke, läse in eusem härzige B&B und eifach chli si! Was mir nid gwüsst hei, isch das Cobh mol Queenstown gheisse hed und dr letzt Alege-Ort vo dr Titanic gse isch bevor si sich ufe Wäg nach Amerika gmacht hed🚢 Es hed e trurigi, aber au spannendi Usstellig gha im alte White Star Line Gebäude wo me ganz vill au über die irische Opfer hed chönne läse. Ufem Wäg i eusi nöchsti Unterkunft si mir spontan no zum 400 johr alte Huntington Schloss🏰 Mir hei e Füehrig becho und dr Pfau hed sich au vo dr Beste site zeigt🦚 Zum Schluss hei mir au no am Brownshill Dolmen ghalte (e alts Grab wo dr igang mit grosse Stei markiert isch, wo dr grösst 150 Tonne wiegt)⛰️

    In Cobh we had delicious food, drank beer, and had time to read in our precious little B&B. What we didn't know was that Cobh was once called Queenstown and was the last harbor of the Titanic before the started her journey to New York🚢 There was a sad but also interesting exhibition in the old White Star Line buildings and we learned a lot about especially the irish victims. On the way to our next destination, we visited the 400 year old Huntignton Castle! We had a tour around the estate and the peacock also showed us his best side🦚 Last but not least we stopped at the Brownshill Dolmen (an ancient burial site which is marked by big bolders, the haviest weighing around 150 tons)⛰️
