The Maumturks Mountains (called Na Sléibhte Mhám Toirc in Gaelic) are suitable for hikers of all levels. Its trails are easily accessible, provided you have the stamina for a few short, steep inclines. However, there’s no great difficulty in surveying them, and you can easily reach the summit of one of the Maumturks Mountains in less than a day!
Arriving at your destination, you’ll have the opportunity to admire a fabulous panorama overlooking the peat bogs and russet moorlands of Connemara. You’ll discover absolutely magnificent colors, playing with the reflections of the lakes and rivers meandering calmly below. A little marvel that would be cruel not to photograph!
Nevertheless, we recommend that you take care during your excursion: as the rules require, never set off alone, and don’t forget to bring good walking shoes, a sweater, water and a sturdy picnic in case you feel peckish! Once you’ve got all these elements, all you have to do is get started!
