Itinerario

1. Journey through Ireland's biggest National Park and admire the Irish wilderness at its peak. The park hosts ancient mountains, wild deer, unenclosed sheep, and vast highland bog and heather.

   1,5 h

2. Glendalough was one of the most important monasteries in Ireland back in the 12th century. It dates as far back as the 6th century, when it was founded by St. Kevin. You’ll hear the many colourful stories about his adventures as we approach the site. We’ll enjoy a leisurely flat walk through some primordial woodland around the smaller lower lake, as we make our way towards the start of the bigger upper lake. There's a nice waterfall nearby which is up about 40 steps.

   2 h

3. Powerscourt was built in the 18th century for the Wingfield family. The visit gives an insight into the decadence of British colonialism in Ireland. The opulent estate includes a golf course, pet cemetery, gardens and waterfall.

   1 h

4. (optional) Off we go to the truly charming village of Avoca to visit the oldest hand weavers in Ireland. You’ll experience a tour of the cottage (quite literally) factory, where you’ll see the looms, smell the wool and meet the craftspeople. On site there is a fabulous bistro for a healthy lunch or an indulgent one! This is also a great place to purchase some clothing actually made in Ireland.

   2 h

5. (optional) A fantastic photo spot in the Wicklow Mountains

   10 min

6. (optional) We'll pass through a very scenic area of lakeland

About Dublino

Dublino, accogliente capitale letteraria d'Irlanda sul Liffey: piazze georgiane, pub storici, musica dal vivo e arte del racconto.

Il Trinity College custodisce il Libro di Kells miniato e la maestosa biblioteca della Long Room, mentre il Castello di Dublino, la Christ Church Cathedral e la Cattedrale di San Patrizio ripercorrono il passato medievale e coloniale della città. Le piazze georgiane come Merrion Square, con le loro porte dai colori vivaci, e la distesa verde di St Stephen's Green offrono un'elegante calma.
