Ponte na entrada do desfiladeiro.

Lugar muito especial com túmulos antigos que estão tortos. Toda a área respira uma história mística distante.

Gap of Dunloe is a narrow mountain pass between the MacGillycuddy Reeks and Purple Mountain, amazing 11 kilometres of it! The spectacularly winding road here descends into The Black Valley passing five lakes. The Head of the Gap is its highest point.

Great spot with a beautiful view

The Irish saint St. Kevin (c. 498–618 AD), from a noble family in Leinster, was trained as a monk and then sought solitude – here in Glendalough as a hermit. Around 540, he withdrew to this remote valley to live in seclusion, asceticism, and prayer. Legends tell that he had deer, otters, and birds as friends. But as it sometimes happens: disciples soon followed him, and a monastic community was established (545 AD), which developed into one of the most important monasteries in Ireland (heyday: 10th–12th centuries). A 30-meter-high round tower (10th–11th centuries), the ruins of the cathedral (1214), a stone church (St. Kevin's Kitchen), and a house still remain. – Very pretty and mystical, the whole thing in the middle of the cemetery.

From the Burren National Park Information Center you can take a free shuttle to the trailhead as there is limited parking there.
