Ireland - Luggala 595 M & Lough Tay (Wicklow Mountains)

A great day in the Wicklow Mountains.
I walked around the famous Lough Tay ( The Guinness Lake ) and climbed Luggala ( Fancy Mountain ) 595 m.
Luggala also called Fancy Mountain is a 595 metres mountain in the Wicklow Mountains, Ireland. Its cliffs are situated above a lake, Lough Tay, and are a popular location for rock climbing.
Lough Tay ( The Guinness Lake ) is a small but scenic lake set in the Wicklow Mountains in County Wicklow, Ireland. It lies between the mountains of Djouce and Luggala, and is most easily viewed from above.
I also visited the Viking Village the Canadian-Irish historical drama television series Vikings are filmed there.About 70% of season one was shot in the great outdoors, much on and around Lough Tay (sometimes called Guinness Lake, as it’s part of the Guinness estate) in Co. Wicklow. The steep slopes of Luggala Mountain look appropriately Scandinavian, and the lake itself provides the perfect location for filming scenes on board the Viking longships.In the summer of 2013, the production company built an extensive set on the shore of Lough Tay, including several Viking houses and a long boat skeleton.




Luggala - zwana także Fancy Mountain to klifowy szczyt w Górach Wicklow o wysokości 595m leży u stóp słynnego jeziora Lough Tay zwanego także The Guinness Lake.To tutaj w większości kręcony jest słynny serial historyczny Wikingowie - Vikings gdzie specjalnie wybudowano wioskę wikingów. To Góry Wicklow stanowią główną bazę zdjęciową.
