The Irish cliffs

Klif Moheru

Klif Moheru

The Cliffs of Moher are Ireland's showpiece. They are located in County Clare to the west of the island and are 8 km long.At the highest point, they are over 200 meters high.There is a special route on the cliffsfor tourists. The 8 km long cliff coast is a real miracle of nature.

The Slieve League cliffs, their Irish name, Sliabh Liag, are in other words Gray Mountain, which are less visited by tourists. Located in County Donegal in the north of the island, they are simply more difficult to access. The roads leading to them are quite narrow so not every tour bus has a chance to reach them. At their highest point, the Slieve League is 600 meters high, so they are much higher than the more famous Cliffs of Moher.
