      Spaziergang nach Caherdaniel

      May 17, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      Auf geht’s in einen sonnigen Tag!!!
      Rechterhand das Meer und das gepflegte Grün eines Golfplatzes. Linkerhand regiert das Kapital in herrschaftlichen Natursteinhäusern umgeben ummauerter Gärten.
      Über allem kreist ein Heli!!
      Besuch aus Dublin??
      Wer weiß, wer weiß?!

      Auf der Straße Rucksack tragend, unsere Wenigkeit. Möchte ich tauschen? Keinesfalls!
      Die Sonne scheint mir ins Gesicht, Termine Fehlanzeige und meine Beine sind in der Lage mich durch diese atemberaubende Landschaft, in dem ihr angemessenen Tempo zu tragen…

      Die heutige Etappe ist eher als Spaziergang zu bezeichnen, trennen uns doch gerade einmal knappe vierzehn Kilometer von unserem Zielort in Caherdaniel.
      Der Trail zeigt sich einmal mehr von seiner besten Seite. So gehen wir oberhalb der Küstenlinie durch grüne Landschaften und bestaunen die sich im Hintergrund aufragenden Berge. Unterwegs treffen wir zwei junge kanadische Frauen, die uns von ihren Wanderabenteuern in Irland und Schottland erzählen. Very interesting!
      Das Meer immer in Sichtweite, geht es auf einem wunderschönen Waldtrail bergab vorbei an einem Wasserfall.
      Unten angekommen geleitet uns ein Sträßchen in den kleinen Ort Caherdaniel.
      Von diesem werden wir sogleich am Ortseingang mit einer kleinen Bar empfangen. Rucksäcke runter, Sonnenplätze eingenommen, Verpflegung geordert und chillen. Was für ein Tag!!! Nachdem wir in unserer heutigen Schlafstätte, einer kleinen Garden Hut, eingecheckt und Körperpflege betrieben haben, geht es am Abend nochmals in besagte Bar.
      Hier treffen wir auf unsere allabendliche Trailcommunity und lassen es äußerst entspannt ausklingen.      Read more

      Kerry Day 1

      September 28, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      Big hop today down to Kerry, with the remnants of storm Agnes nipping at our heels. Do we do the Ring of Kerry? Do we do it clockwise or anticlockwise - with the myriad coaches or against them? We decided to go with the flow and just raced them to each of the next scenic spots 😁. Visibility wasn't good, so the photos are even less capable of showing you the real beauty of these places but we'll try again tomorrow.
      We did go off the beaten track at one point and found ourselves on an incredibly steep hill, going up the side of a cliff! With a sheer drop to the sea far below on the right (no barrier) and bushes brushing against the side of the van on the left (there really was no room to spare) we raced up the slope, desperate to get to the top before we met something else coming down. There were no passing places that I could see and neither of us could tear our eyes away from the road ahead long enough to really take in the horror/ beauty that surely lay out the driver's window and down the cliff. It was a fun nightmare 😂.
      The campsite is stunning and we're parked about 30ft from where the waves break against the rocks as we look out to sea.      Read more

      Kerry Day 2

      September 29, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      We made the best of the good weather today by getting out for a good walk along the Kerry Way. What a lovely walk - Acres of golden smooth sand, huge rocks like stranded whales on the beach, hidden coves, rocky scramble, a fantastic view for our lunch and a waterfall to boot! An ice-cream a quick haircut for me a whole load of planning from Clare and we're knackered. A bit more of the ring if Kerry tomorrow and then it's off to Beara 😁Read more

      Kammer des Schreckens

      September 9, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      Nachdem wir festgestellt haben, das wir uns für die 2,5 Wochen zu viel vorgenommen haben, haben wir noch mal umgeplant und eine neue Route entwickelt die nun die Sehenswürdigkeiten beinhaltet, die wir unbedingt sehen wollen. Denn die Straßen sind im Vergleich zu neuseeländischen Verhältnissen in keinen guten Verfassungen. Dementsprechend eng war auch der Weg durch den Killneary National Park und der Ring of Kerry. Landschaftlich aber top. Unseren ersten Steinkreis aus der Steinzeit haben wir auch gesehen, waren dann noch einkaufen und sind im Pub versackt, also alles in allem ein sehr gelungener Tag 😬Read more

      End of Ring of Kerry

      April 27 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C

      Continued on with the Ring first of all heading to a beautiful sandy cove to see if their cafe was open but it wasn’t so continued on to the next stop, another deserted beautiful beach for a swim. Very cold morning (5 degrees) but the sun shining made it more bearable. Could only stand a minute or 2 in the water, my feet were numb before I’d even waded out deep enough, but felt good afterwards and I always love the sea salt hair. We’d pre-made a coffee for when we got back to the van to warm us up though I did feel chilly for a good few hours afterwards. The Atlantic Ocean working its magic. Moving onwards, coming off slightly heading to Valentia Island, a small island off the ring that we could drive on to. There is a small mountain with a view, amongst other things so thought would be good to walk up. We parked up along a quiet road about to walk up when the farmer opposite the entrance told us we couldn’t park there, we need to drive up the mountain (€10). I said I’d prefer to walk up. She said we’d still have to pay €4 each! Incredible! Mountain nazi! Scrapped that and went on to a spot where some prehistoric foot prints had been found. At a glance they just look like holes in the rock but are actually made by a tetrapod, a lizard like creature, 385 million years ago! That killed 2 minutes. Drove back out the windy roads to the car ferry to cross back to the mainland, a short 5 minute journey but good fun then onwards north bound completing the rest of the ring. Not so much of a view on the northern section and easier to drive too, less precarious roads/mountain cliffs. We completed the ring back where we started at Killarney, found our campsite for the night and walked in to the town, a lovely 4 miler, scenic stroll in the sun. Stumbled across a woodland full of wild garlic as far as the eye could see. Very fragrant and lovely. Random! Also passed a field of deer too. Wandered around Killarney town, went for a lovely curry, oldest pub ‘only’ late 1800s then cab back to the site. Chilly night ahead.Read more

      Castlecove, N70

      August 22, 2023 in Ireland

      Sonne pur, in Irland am Ring of Kerry, das glaubt uns keiner, die Fotos sprechen für sich, mit Datum und Koordinaten. Ein kleines Ringfort wollen wir besuchen, es ist leicht zu finden. Ein 🐑 mit gedrehten Horn begrüßt uns.Read more

      Glen of Aherlow

      August 25, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      Eine Fahrt über Land mit Aprilwetter im August ist für Irland nicht ungewöhnlich, aber wir sind vom letzten Campingplatz mit der direkten Aussicht auf das Meer verwöhnt. Hier in den Bergen in der Natur ist es ruhig. Tipperay ist 20min mit dem Womo durch die Berge. Kein Bus. Mit dem Fahrt abends undiskutabel. Wir haben mit entsprechenden Vorräten vorgesorgt.Read more

      Onto the Kerry Peninsula

      September 13, 2023 in Ireland ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

      Chilly morning but pull ourselves out of bed to try and beat wind and rain. First part of the ride is not very scenic as seem to be doing a lot of clear cutting. Make it to Smeem and have pastries. Wind starts as does the rain. Make it to campsite and set up. Lots of rain. Hang out in TV room which is quite cozy.Read more

      Slea Head Drive und Ring of Kerry

      September 6, 2017 in Ireland ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

      Logbucheintrag von Sarah: Heute starteten wir 9:30 Uhr von Dingle aus zum Slea Head Drive, einer sehenswerten Rundtour durch Dingle Penisula. Unseren ersten Stopp machten wir an den Beehive Huts, Bienenkorbförmigen Steinhaufen, einst wohl von den Kelten erbaut. Am Dunquin Harbour liefen wir ein Stück Richtung Anleger. Kaum vorstellbar, dass in dieser kleinen felsigen Bucht Schffe fahren. Es ging weiter an Klippen entlang und durch hübsche Ortschaften mit Fuchsienhecken umsäumten Straßen. In einer Töpferwerkstatt kauften wir Urlaubstassen, in einer anderen Kaffee und Kuchen. Von der Straße sahen wir einen tollen Parkplatz am Clogher Strand, dort wollten wir pausieren. Ein toller Ort, an dem man die Gewalt des Meeres miterleben konnte. Hohe Wellen brachen an den Felsen in der Bucht. Wir durchfuhren Dingle und machten uns auf den Weg zum Ring of Kerry. Eine nette Strecke mit tollen Aussichten und kleinen Städten. Unser Ziel sollte der Glenbeg Campingplatz sein. Um 16:15 Uhr waren wir dort und bekamen einen Platz direkt am Strand. Dort konnte man gut verweilen, wenn gleich es etwas frisch war.Read more

      Waterville to Caherdaniel

      August 15, 2017 in Ireland ⋅ 🌙 14 °C

      The weather condtions for today are the best to date on this trip. Sunshine and warm. This is THE real Irish summer. First, we visited Waterville, a nice small waterfront resort, which was already visited by such famous people as Charlie Chaplin. He came here every summer with his family.

      Waterville is also famous for the first Transatlantic Cable, which was laid from here to Canada. On this part of the coast of Kerry, there were several cable stations.

      We followed the path out of town and after some km, finally, we could see both, Skellig Michael and the smaller Skellig island. The islands are famous for several reasons. On the smaller island, there are about 50'000 gannets breeding there. You can also find the famous puffins and a lot of other birds. Skellig Michael was once inhabited by monks, who built an abbey on top of it. It is now a World Heritage Site. But is another more recent reason, why Skellig Michael is famous for: it was used several times as location for the Star Wars movies. This may also be the reason why it is such a popular destination right now.

      We had to get over a mountain pass in order to get to the other side of the valley. From here, we could see the Brea Peninsula, the third peninsula after Dingle and Kerry. We decided to leave the Kerry Way and followed a path that led us directly to the beach. From here the path became a wonderful and beautiful costal path. There were many people on the beaches. No wonder as the temperature went up to 24C.

      At the end of the path, we came through the home of Daniel O'Connell, who became the first liberator of the Irish people in the beginning of the 19th century.

      From here we only had to cover some 3 more km to get to the destination of today, the olde Forge.      Read more
