What to expect
Discover the wild and unspoilt Bluestack Way, a moderate 36-mile end to end trail in the south of Country Donegal, Ireland. Flanking the impressive Bluestack Mountain range, also known as the ‘Croaghgorms’, this 2-to-3-day trail is well-waymarked trail, perfect for those less confident with navigation but searching for a wild and rugged mountainous multi-day hike. There is a large car park at the start near the Tourist Office in the town of Donegal, or on-street parking at the finish in Andara, although the route can be walked in either direction.
As the route takes in the foothills of the Bluestacks, the terrain is predominantly quiet country roads and exposed open moorland trail, which are usually wet and boggy.
