Hiking
The trail goes up by Poulanass Waterfall before joining the amazing boardwalk and wooden steps leading to the spectacular viewing point overlooking the Upper Lake. On the other side of the valley you decent down a rocky trail to the deserted Miners Village where a path takes you back into Glendalough.

Hiking
is great. Glaciers formed a beautiful valley millions of years ago, leaving behind two lakes and forming the unique backdrop for Saint Kevin, who founded the Glendalough monastery complex at the end of the valley.
