Ancient trails lead the way to The Paps of Danú, two cone shaped peaks that provide excellent views of the Killarney Valley as well as the Caha and Boggeragh mountains. A gentle stroll along a bog road leads to steep ascents of both peaks.

Steeped Archaeology and folklore, the Paps is where the pre-Christians celebrated the Summer Solstice Pagan festival. The area is surrounded in oak forests which is believed to have been a popular spot for hunting with Irish Wolf Hounds.
