Bench With a View of Lough Neagh, Oxford Island
Highlight • Viewpoint
At Kinnagoe Marina, the boats rock in the water, their masts reaching silently into the sky. The reflections in the water and the quiet clinking of the rigging put you in a maritime mood. As you walk further, dense bushes alternate with sparse forest patches through which you can look through and the evening sun's rays illuminate the path. It is a beautiful place to experience nature and tranquility before continuing your hike.

Lough Neagh Discovery Centre
Highlight • Rest Area
For those who are looking for relaxation after a long hike or just want to enjoy the beauty of nature, the discovery center offers just the thing. Every corner of the building is designed to be barrier-free, so everyone has the chance to experience this gem to the fullest.
While browsing the gift shop, visitors will come across lovingly selected souvenirs crafted by local artisans and artists. Each piece tells a story and is a reminder of this special place on Lough Neagh.
However, the highlight of the center is the café. Equipped with large panoramic windows, it offers breathtaking views over the shimmering lake. Here you can pause with a cup of tea or coffee, let your thoughts wander and enjoy the moment. The smell of freshly baked pastries fills the air, and the guests' quiet conversations mingle with the gentle sound of the water.
