Torc Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Torc Waterfall is located in the heart of Killarney National Park and is easily accessible on foot. Its highest point is 20 meters (66 feet). A worthwhile destination on any hike (e.g., on the way to Torc Mountain or along the Kerry Way).

At the bridge you can also walk a few meters along the water. Fantastic 🙂

Old Kenmare Road Forest, Killarney National Park

Highlight • Forest

From the bridge in the north this goes over the Old Kenmare Road. The section further south of this point, a little above the stream, is the most beautiful for me. It goes through a forest where one suspects elves and goblins and sometimes goats are found. Bicycles or even cars are not allowed to drive here. The more relaxed you can let the forest work its magic on you.

View from Torc Mountain

Highlight • Viewpoint

The summit is easy to reach, as long stretches of the ascent are covered with wooden floorboards. The view becomes more beautiful with every meter of altitude.
