Abriachan Blue Trail Ascent

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This section of single track is one of a few small and gentle ascents on the blue mountain bike trail at Abriachan. Its predominantly smooth surface with few technical difficulties provides a pleasant introduction to off road riding. Also known as the Kelpies' Trails, they are a community development to encourage outdoor recreation by the public.

If you are on the Great Glen Way, you should definitely take a break here. Absolutely worth seeing and experiencing. Fits in any category of campsite or cafe I know. I would describe it as an organic farm - hippie - forest camping with a cafe and you feel as if you are visiting very dear grandparents. The two hosts, an older couple, are incredibly hospitable and come with each conversation. Each guest is asked what his name is, where he comes from, where he goes and they tell little stories. There are homemade cakes and freshly prepared soup.
The simple wooden tables and benches stand in a clearing between bushes and trees near a pool. There are chickens everywhere and, as a special attraction, a really big, black pig.

Who hikes along the Great Glen Way definitely should take brake here. Absolutely worth to see and to experience. It does not fit in any category of campsite or cafe I know. I would describe it as Ecofarm-Hippie-Woodcamping with Cafe and it feels like visiting very lovely grandparents. The hosts, an elderly couple, are incredibly hospitable and get into a conversation with everyone. Everybody wants to be asked for the name, where he or she comes from and where they go as well as they like their own stories. The homemade cake on soup.
The simple wooden tables and benches are placed on a clearing between the trees and bushes near a small tarn. Everywhere chickens are running around and getting a big, black pig.

Great Glen Way Gravel Road

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This beautiful gravel road is part of the Great Glen Way and gives you a good, rideable and lovely curvy gravel road through the forest. You'll contour around the peak of Carn na Leitire.
