Wanderlust in Northern Ireland – magical Tours on the green island

Vast, lush green hilly landscapes, rugged cliffs, countless sheep and cosy pubs with live music where candle wax drips onto ancient whiskey bottles – this is how Sabrina from the outdoor blog ‘Couchflucht’ (couch escape) envisioned Northern Ireland before her trip. It’s the first time that the enthusiastic hiking blogger laced up her boots and roamed the landscapes of the Emerald Isles.

In this Collection, Sabrina takes you on her favourite hikes between the legendary Giant's Causeway and the mystical Mourne Mountains. Expect rolling mountains, wild moors, lakes and rivers, as well as dramatic coastal landscapes with steep cliffs. One of Sabrina’s highlights was the sunset from the spectacular Giant’s Causeway.

From short but challenging Tours to long day hikes, there’s something for every taste and fitness level. Hikes between the wild Atlantic and the Irish Sea all have one thing in common – impressive landscapes. These backdrops were the settings for around 70% of the scenes in the world-famous Game of Thrones series. Regardless whether you prefer gentle rambles or ambitious day Tours, the wild nature of Northern Ireland will certainly captivate you. It’s the perfect destination for a relaxed hiking holiday, especially in the off-season.

To reach Ireland, you can fly to Belfast or Dublin. Express buses run regularly between the airports and city centres. Some of the Tours can be easily reached by public transport, so you can manage without a rental car.

Hopefully, your sense of adventure has been awakened. Remember to pack windproof and waterproof clothing in your rucksack and set off to discover the Emerald Isles’ magnificent landscapes and wild coast. In the evening, you can rest your tired legs at a traditional pub.
