I wanted to visit Ireland for a long time. He had a couple of friends in Parma who spent time in this lovely country and used to rave about him. I soon had the desire to visit it myself.

One of the most picturesque wonders I have seen is the Cliffs of Moher, located on the west coast of the nation.

They rise 120 meters above sea level and reach their maximum height, 214 meters, just north of the O’Briens Tower, a round stone tower that stretches for 8 kilometers.

They are hit by the full force of the Atlantic Ocean.

That day, at the end of September, I left Galway and finally reached my destination. I was very satisfied. I was going to see something unique.

Today there is a very well equipped visitor center there. Not at that time. The cliff walk is beyond your ground.

Visitors are advised not to visit the cliffs in bad weather, rain or wind. I took a quick look around me. I soon understood why.

The sight left a lasting impression on me, with a sense of fear and terror.

Lanterns are incredibly threatening and dangerous. We are talking about pure rock that falls into the ocean.

The cliffs are extraordinarily large and tremendously steep.

I was scared just looking at them. If you suffer from vertigo don’t go there.

If you want to walk along the cliffs, it is recommended to bring good walking shoes, a windbreaker and follow the official path. For a very good reason.

You don’t want to fall …

I started walking. It was a beautiful sunny day, a bit windy and with big white clouds in the sky. There were other visitors, from all over the world. There was a scene that I will never forget. A young couple wanted to take a photo and left the trail, venturing very close to the edge of the cliffs.

I felt bad, physically ill thinking about what might have happened to them in case the ground they were standing on suddenly collapsed …

I looked down. I saw a lot of large rocks on the long, narrow beach below. They apparently formed in the Upper Carboniferous Period, 319 million years ago.

I didn’t feel very good. He was powerless in the face of Mother Nature.

The wild beauty of the place literally overwhelms you.

I smelled the fresh, salty air and heard the birds cry and scream.

I was lucky enough to see some wild Bilberry goats.

Additionally, the nearby waters are rich in plankton, which attracts whales and whale sharks.

Not far from the cliffs I was able to admire the Branaunmore Sea Stack, right in the middle of the water, continually being beaten by the waves.

The vertical column was formed when inexorable breakers eroded the main cliffs over millions of years.

The mysterious Aran Islands appeared in the distance.

He was completely absorbed by the surrounding environment.

The breathtaking beauty that surrounded me completely captivated me.

I kept looking down. Beneath the cliffs they hide under water caves. Even more overwhelming.

Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to see the puffins, beautiful funny looking sea birds. They nest on cliffs from late March to mid July. He was not worried. What I saw was more than enough for the day.

Sadly, the Cliffs of Moher get a bad rap too. Many people committed suicide there. They knew they had no chance of survival.
