Gap of Dunloe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gap of Dunloe (Irish: Bearna an Choimin) is a narrow pass between the Macgillycuddy's Reeks and the Purple Mountains near Killarney, Ireland. It is also a popular tourist attraction. It begins at Kate Kearney's Cottage and ends with a descent into The Black Valley, a distance of approximately 7 miles. As one travels through the Gap from Kate Kearney's cottage five small lakes are passed: Coosaun Lough, Black Lake, Cushnavally Lake, Auger Lake and Black Lough respectively. This lakes are connected by the River Loe from which the gap gets its name. Between the first two lakes is an old arch bridge called the 'Wishing Bridge' so named because wishes made while upon it are destined to come true.
