Visit Aasleagh Falls

Waterfalls lost in the wilderness

Let’s face it: access to these waterfalls is not easy by car: we recommend that you approach them on foot, and equip yourself with good hiking boots. To find them, simply follow the R335 towards Delphi: you’ll come across a succession of waterfalls that are well worth the detour!

Their show is enchanting and ideal in fine weather: a great place for a siesta, a picnic, or just a stroll! Don’t hesitate to follow the watercourse: you’ll be able to admire the different waterfalls. Some are more impressive than others, and are sometimes the subject of professionally supervised activities such as costeering or canyoning.

Be careful, though: the area can quickly become dangerous. So don’t embark on these activities without being supervised by a sports guide specializing in this type of sport.
