"Difficulty: Moderate to Challenging Distance: 9.5 km (6 miles) Time: 3–4 hours This is one of Wicklow’s most popular hikes and offers absolutely stunning views over Glendalough’s two lakes. The trail climbs up to the Spinc, a ridge that overlooks the valley, with panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains. The descent takes you into the Glenealo Valley and back to Glendalough."
