River Ba Bridge

Highlight • River

A small bridge crosses the river Ba. The river is a quiet spot, and the views are great. Good spot for lunch, or perhaps camping.

Rannoch Moor Wetlands

Highlight • Natural

a landscape almost incomprehensible. Even though it is so alien to life, it has a special charm.

June 20, 2023,West Highland Highway- Von Bridge of Orchy nach Glencoe Mountain Resort
The starting point is the town of Bridge of Orchy with a train station and hotel. The path first leads through forest and ferns and later over the moor almost treeless. The path is paved but very bumpy. Ankle-high light hiking shoes are recommended. Nice resting points are always small stone bridges over beautiful streams. Think about mosquito repellent. There …

Left very early today at 8 a.m.. the Midgets were very happy about the breakfast.. it was still a bit cool over the mountain but great views 😊. Then as a highlight through the Rannoch Moor.. beautiful and there was even a rainbow 🌈.. really arrived in the Highlands...
Since our accommodation is in Ballachulish, we ended the tour at …

The day begins again today with a transfer to Inverornan where we resume the walk and soon reach what is perhaps the most beautiful part of the WHW - Rannoch Moor. Agriculturally unusable and therefore hardly inhabited, it has remained very original. The landscape is magnificent, the weather does not let us down. We save the last bit to Kingshouse …

Day VI of the West Highland Way, the most beautiful stage so far, over the Bridge of Orgy through and across the Highlands to Rannoch Moor, the largest contiguous moor in Scotland and on towards Kingshouse.

And on we go. Take the bus back to Bridge of Orchy. At the bus stop I meet Max from Berlin, with whom I am hiking today. The older Norwegian trio, who I've met before, is also on the bus. With lively chatting, the 18 km fly by. The trail finally veers off the main road, going uphill briefly and …

From the Hotel Bridge of Orchy we go down to the River Orchy and cross the river over the bridge of the same name.
The path then leads up through mostly open terrain to Mam Carraigh, where a stone pyramid marks the highest point. From here there is a wonderful panoramic view of the mountains with the pretty Loch Tulla …

So the West Highland Sleeper is really recommended! The small bunkhouse with its super nice hostess is right in the middle of the platform. But make sure you reserve, only a limited number of beds.

Although the route itself wasn't very difficult, today's stage was very difficult for me, the condition of the old military path was not good for …

With freshly dried shoes we set off on the next stage to Kingshouse today. At around 9 a.m. the rain clouds cleared and made way for fantastic hiking weather. This stage is definitely a highlight. You hike on an old cattle drive route through the Rannoch Moor. To the left are the mountains of the Black Mount area (the Beinn …
