Connemara National Park





O parque nacional está aberto ao público desde 1980 e chegando lá vai encontrar um centro de visitantes (que fecha de novembro até março), um Tea Room, um vídeo multi lingue, Playground, área de picnics e o que é mais de interessante de tudo as diversas trilhas que estão divididas em 4 cores.
Some time ago, the park was part of the Kylemore Abbey (post showing this amazing place coming soon) and of an industrial school on the town of Letterfrack where the park is located.
The National Park has been opened to the public since 1980 and getting there you will find a visitor center (which closes from November until March), a Tea Room, a multilingual video, Playground, picnic area, and what is the most interesting, the several trails which are divided in 4 colors.

A amarela, azul e vermelha (que estão na Diamond Hill) são na verdade a mesma trilha mas que só diferem na intensidade. A vermelha é a que leva até o topo da montanha.

The yellow, blue and red (which are on Diamond Hill) are actually the same trail, they just differ on the intensity. The red trail is the one taking you to the top of the mountain.

Para ajudar um pouco, principalmente nas subidas, a gente comprou bastões de caminhada, que podem ser comprados em qualquer loja de artigos esportivos. Mas eles não são essenciais.
O que é essencial, claro, é levar calçados apropriados para esse tipo de atividade e roupas que aguentem bem o vento que com certeza irá encontrar na parte de cima da montanha.
You will be able to do all the trails even if you are not used to this type of walk. If we did it, believe us, yiu will also do it!
To help a little, mainly on the way up, we got trekking polls, which can be purchased in any sports or camping stores. But they are not essential.
What is essential, of course, is taking suitable shoes for this kind of activity, and clothing that take well the wind which for sure you will find on the top of the mountain.

Não é necessário esperar os meses de verão para fazer este passeio. A gente foi num gelado fim-de-semana de outono e foi ótimo. Com as cores típicas desta época do ano. Mas fique de olho nas probabilidades de chuva para os dias que você estivar pensando ir. Se há chances de muita chuva é melhor deixar para outro dia. Mas recomendo que leve uma capa de chuva na mochila, a instabilidade do tempo irlandês é impressionante.
The yellow trail takes around 30 minutes to be finished, the blue one, 60 minutes, and the red one (which is the one we did), 2.5 hours. This can vary according to the intensity of your walk. We did it all in a very easy way and with no hurry. We paused many times for taking pictures, selfies, and to drink water. Besides, the view is so amazing that it is worth stopping for a while evey now and then to enjoy the views.
It is not necessary to wait the summer months to do this trip. We went there in a cold autumn weekend and it was great. With the typical colors of this time of the year. But keep an eye on the weather forecast and possibility of rain for the days you are considering going. If there is a chance of heavy rain you better leave for another day. But I recommend you take a rain cover in the backpack, the instability of the Irish weather is impressive.

Algumas pessoas levam até os seus cachorros para fazer a escalada.
The trails are in great condition, and very well preserved. In more swampy areas there is even a kind of deck.
Some people even take their dogs with them to do the uphill hike.
