The German public broadcaster WDR’s programme “Wunderschön! Ireland – Travelling Along the Wild Atlantic Way” takes viewers on a journey along the entire west coast of Ireland.
From dramatic cliffs and long sandy beaches to small villages, vibrant culture and warm hospitality, the documentary shows what makes the Wild Atlantic Way one of Ireland’s most fascinating touring routes.
The entire documentary is well worth watching and captures the variety of the Wild Atlantic Way beautifully. At around the 51-minute mark, the journey reaches Connemara, where you can spot some friendly faces from our team and the magnificent Killary Fjord.
A Journey Along Ireland’s Wild West Coast
The Wild Atlantic Way follows Ireland’s Atlantic coastline and connects some of the country’s most striking landscapes. The route passes rugged coastline, wide beaches, islands, mountains and small towns that have retained their own distinctive character.
The documentary showcases not only the landscape, but also the people, traditions and stories found along the route. It creates a vivid sense of the west of Ireland and the unique atmosphere visitors can expect here.
Connemara from the 51-Minute Mark
At around 51 minutes, the journey reaches Connemara. The region is shaped by mountains, lakes, bogland, quiet roads and the Atlantic coastline. It is one of the most unspoilt and impressive sections of the Wild Atlantic Way.
In this part of the programme, you will also see Killary Fjord and some members of our team. For us, it is a real pleasure to see our home and a small part of our daily work featured in the documentary.
Discover Connemara for Yourself
The programme offers a wonderful first glimpse, but the best way to experience Connemara is for yourself, at a pace that gives you time to enjoy the landscape, the small towns and the people you meet along the way.
On our self-guided walking and cycling holidays, you can explore Connemara along quiet paths and roads. We organise your route, accommodation and luggage transfers, while you have the freedom to enjoy each day at your own pace.
This allows you not only to see the region, but to truly experience it.
