Ireland is one of the best hiking countries in Europe - especially the west coast invites with numerous trails for varied tours. This book describes 24 hikes between County Cork in the south and County Donegal in the north. The routes lead along rugged coastal cliffs, over kilometers of sandy beaches, through charming green landscapes, or over high mountains. Information on the nature, culture, and history of the region complements the detailed route descriptions. An information block summarizes details such as trail length, rest areas, or bus connections and provides tips for hiking with children, strollers, and dogs. GPS tracks can be downloaded for free.
