O atrakcí
Rychlá fakta: This waterfall is about 15 meters tall and flows from Glencar Lough into a lush woodland valley. Its beauty inspired renowned poet W.B. Yeats, who mentioned the falls in his works.
Zajímavosti: The water cascades over limestone rocks creating a mist that often forms rainbows on sunny days, making photo moments magical. Locals celebrate a midsummer festival here, lighting bonfires nearby which adds to the mystical atmosphere by night.
