Stop 2
El viaje comienza en Dublín rumbo a nuestra primera parada, Glendalough, que en irlandés significa "el valle de los dos lagos", un paraje sin igual que guarda la historia de San Kevin, un monje que habitó en una cueva de la zona y donde fundó un monasterio en el siglo VI.
Inicias la visita en la monumental entrada principal del conjunto monasterial, donde nuestro guía de habla española te cuenta toda la historia del lugar, desde las vivencias del propio San Kevin, hasta las leyendas sobre el rey O´Toole, sin perder la oportunidad de tocar la piedra que lleva el nombre del propio O´Toole porque, al parecer, el simple roce con ella hará que se te perdonen todos tus pecados.
Seguidamente pasas al monasterio, que actualmente ha perdido su techo, aunque guarda un encanto especial, además de mantener antiquísimas lápidas que sorprenden por un detalle curioso, y es que las edades de los allí enterrados superan en muchos de los casos los 100 años.

atravesando un pequeño puente, te adentras en un paseo espectacular de 1,5 km repleto de grandes robles y tupidos helechos, zona en la que se rodaron varias escenas de la premiada serie Vikingos y que seguro reconocerás.
El camino te lleva al Upper Lake (lago alto), uno de los dos lagos glaciales que conserva Glendalough. Te encuentras con un bucólico paisaje de aguas negras rodeado por verdes montañas que encauzan al riachuelo que surte de agua la zona.
Paseo opcional
