Maumturks/Connemara
Cnoc na hUilleann And Letterbreckaun – day hike (Hard)
Sample some of the best summits and stunning views of the central Maumturks.
About the Maumturks guided hike
Starting south of Lough Inagh Lodge we cross the Western Way and head up the An Log Bán valley
following the river and taking in its beautiful waterfalls.
After reaching a large cwm high on the mountain we follow a spur of rock heading up to Cnoc na hUilleann (Knocknahillion). This is our first of many opportunities to take in the stunning views of the 12 Bens and the coast of Connemara.
From here we follow the spectacular undulating ridge of the Maumturks, taking in the magnificent panorama of mountains around us, to reach our high point at Letterbreckaun (667m).
The ridge then doglegs right and left as we follow it north, before we descend gradually back into the valley. At the valley floor we follow the easy track of the Western Way back to our start point where we finish our Maumturks guided hike.
