Meeting of the Waters, Lakes of Killarney
As the name implies the Meeting of the waters is where Killarney's famous lakes converge. The Upper lake , Middle Lake (also know as Muckross Lake) and Lower Lake (Lough Leane) all come together at this beautifull spot. It is a little haven of tranquility and can only be reached by foot or bicycle. Also found in this area are Dinis cottage and "The old wier Bridge". The easiest way to reach the spot is by walking along the well signposted path from Muckross House for approximately 5km. or if you don't feel than energetic then approx one mile beyond Torc Waterfall (direction Kenmare) there is a parking spot on the right hand side of the road. Dinis cottage is signposted from here and the cottage and "the meetings of the waters" is a 15 minute walk from here. Its definitely worth the walk on a fine day.
