Highlight (Segment) • Trail

In all of Scotland that I traveled around this is the only place where I felt the call of the mountains. The altitude is not high, but the majesty of the place is truly fascinating.

Very nice tour. Used the Flodygarry parking lot. Therefore, also hiked a bit off the official tourist route. Already full in May. Good to manage, but sturdy footwear and sure-footedness are necessary. Especially on the way back on the Quiraing route.

Only do this walk when it is not raining and the weather is good. Otherwise this will be a dangerous walk.

Quiraing stands for wildly furrowed bizarre rocky landscape at the northern end of Skye.
We had skipped Quiraing the day before due to the rain, but now we took it on the program anyway. And luckily. For someone like me who loves the Opal Coast and the Alabaster Coast this is a high flyer. Every now and then we got …

By now, I can certainly say that my hiking boots have had some pretty good terrain under their soles, but this hike is definitely one of the most beautiful I've ever experienced. Now I know where the hype about the beauty of the Isle of Skye comes from, and I'm joining in the praise!

Cold, strong, e.g. T. gusty wind, rain and sleet showers, paths washed out by days of rain, muddy meadows did not make the hike easy. The landscape, the panoramas, the overwhelming impressions make up for everything. Halfway through, pants, hiking boots and stockings were wet and muddy. The descent was difficult again because the original path was washed away or …
