Fairy Doors and More

There are two ways to get from Cahir Castle to the Swiss Cottage, our next destination. You can drive. Or you can walk. We chose the latter option.

The approximately 2.5-mile R/T path is flat and easy enough to walk. It passes through a forest ... peaceful and quiet. Perfect on a warm June day.

At the head of the trail, we came across a few sculptures carved out of tree trunks and boughs. What was most interesting, however, were the “fairy doors” we found along the way. Some were just placed at the base of trees, but in a few areas, there were entire “apartment complexes.” Apparently some of these miniature doors have a small space behind where people can leave notes or wishes for the fairies.もっと詳しく
