County Clare 466 Der Westen/County Clare Das Rathaus von Kilkee County Clare Highlights • Ennis – die Hauptstadt des „Singing Country“ mit lebhafter Musikszene (S. 472) • Kilkee – Klippen, so steil und mindestens so schön wie die Cliffs of Moher, jedoch nicht überlaufen (S. 477) • Scattery Island – die verlassene Klosterinsel mitten in der Shannon-Mün- dung (S. 479) • Burren – ein karges Kalksteinplateau mit seltenen Pflänzlein und fotogenem Dolmen Clare (S. 485) • Fanore – vorne das Meer, hinten die Dünen, dazwischen ein Streifen feinen goldgelben Sands, durchsetzt mit pech- schwarzen Felsen (S. 492) County Clare 467 County Clare Die Halbinsel zwischen Shannon Bay im Süden und Galway Bay im Norden hat ihren eigenen Charme. Die Landschaft ist vielseitig: welliges Farmland, eine zerklüftete Küste und im Norden das karge Kalksteinmassiv Burren, das bei Botanikern, Geologen und Wanderern besonders hoch im Kurs steht. Das Gebiet zwischen dem Flughafen Shannon und der Stadt Limerick fällt aus dem Rahmen der sonst ländlichen Grafschaft. Durch Steuervorteile angelockt, haben sich hier einige Fabriken niedergelassen. Auch die Amerikaner, die hier zum ersten Mal irische Luft schnuppern und mit dem „Ritteressen“ im Bunratty Castle und dem angeschlossenen Museumsdorf die Alte Welt gleich so erleben, wie sie sich diese immer vorgestellt haben, lassen hier viel Geld. Doch obwohl der Fremdenverkehr der wichtigste Wirtschaftszweig in Clare ist, blieb die Landschaft im Großen und Ganzen intakt. An der Küste versetzen die Cliffs of Moher ihre Besucher wie eh und je ins Staunen, nicht weniger beeindru- ckend und dramatisch sind die Klippen von Kilkee. Und dann der Burren, das Eldorado der Naturfreunde, eine fremd- artige Karstlandschaft, wo, scheinbar aus dem bloßen Stein, seltene Blumen sprießen. Die Aillwee Cave vermittelt eine Ahnung von dem geheimnisvollen Netz unterirdischer Flüsse und Höhlen, Der Westen das sich unter dem Burren erstreckt. Karte S. 469 Wer gern Abenteuer erlebt und dafür Dreck und blaue Flecken in Kauf nimmt, findet z. B. in Fanore noch völlig unerschlossene Höhlen. Auch zum Felsklettern und Tauchen bietet sich hier reichlich Gelegenheit. Die dünne Besiedlung hat in Clare viele archäologische Stätten vor der Zerstö- rung bewahrt. Am bekanntesten und am häufigsten fotografiert ist der Poul- nabrone-Dolmen, doch daneben gibt es noch 2000 keltische Ringforts und 250 Burgen, zumeist einfache Wehrtürme, die von den gälischen Clanchefs im 15. und 16. Jh. errichtet wurden. Die groß- zügigen Parks und Landsitze, wie sie vor allem um Dublin Akzente setzen, sucht man hier ebenso vergebens wie die normannischen Bilderbuchburgen, zu denen John’s Castle in Limerick durch- aus zu rechnen ist. Bleibt die Musik. Clare gilt als das „Singing County“, die Hochburg der traditionellen irischen Publikumsmagnet Bunratty Castle 468 Der Westen/County Clare Musik. Doolin und seine Pubs waren noch in den achtziger Jahren ein Geheimtipp unter den Freunden irischer Volksmusik, und es ist noch immer eine Reise wert, auch wenn die Sessions heute weitgehend von Ausländern gestaltet werden – es ist die Crème der irlandbegeisterten Musiker aus aller Welt, die sich in Doolin trifft und auf ihre Entdeckung hofft. Ennis erlebt in den letzten Maiwochen das Festival der irischen Folkmusik, und Miltown Malbay pflegt mit der „Willie Clancy Summer School“ die hohe Schule der Dudelsackbläserei. Von Limerick nach Ennis Bunratty Wenn Masse für Klasse steht, sind das Bunratty Castle und sein Museums- dorf die zweitgrößte Sehenswürdigkeit der Grünen Insel. 344.000 Besucher ließen im letzten Jahr die Kasse klingeln. Nur der Dubliner Zoo erfreut sich einer noch größeren Publikumsgunst. Früher stand die Burg auf einer Insel im Shannon, der heute aber sein Bett nach Bunratty Süden verlagert hat. Der nahezu quadratische Bergfried wurde um 1450 von den McNamaras an der Stelle eines älteren Kastells erbaut. Das perfekt restaurierte Ge- mäuer, ein beliebter Stopp auf den Bustouren, ist vollgestopft mit alten Möbeln, Wandteppichen und Gemälden, die aus ganz Europa zusammengetragen wurden. Abends finden in der prunkvoll eingerichteten Empfangshalle mittelalterliche Ban- kette statt. Gegessen wird mit den Fingern; die Schildkrötenpanzer über dem Küchenherd sind allerdings nicht mehr als Suppenschüsseln in Gebrauch. Das gro- ße Fressen begleiten ein Vortrag über die Geschichte der Burg und die „Bunratty Singers“ mit Tafelmusik – mit einer bildschönen, engelsgesichtigen Harfnerin ver- heißt der Prospekt besonders männlichen Besuchern ein traumhaftes Erlebnis. Um den vor allem amerikanischen Besuchern ein vollständiges Klischee von „good old Europe“ zu vermitteln, ist im Folk Park ein ganzes Dorf nachgebaut. Die Bauernhäuser sind hübsch anzuschauen und wären, wenn man sie nicht hierher versetzt hätte, schon längst der Spitzhacke oder dem Wetter zum Opfer gefallen. Man staunt, in wie einfachen Verhältnissen die Menschen lebten. Im Sommer wird der Show halber getöpfert, gezimmert, geschmiedet und gebacken. Befremdlich ist die Ladenstraße, denn sie sieht nicht anders aus als manche irische Kleinstadt – die Wirklichkeit ist geradeso museal. Abendliche Ceilidhs ergänzen im Sommer die Gelage in der Burg um ein von Tanz und Musik begleitetes „Volksessen“ mit Stew, Apfelkuchen und Sodabrot. •Verbindung Die Busse der Linie 343 zwi- Werbung, der älteste Pub Irlands.

  • Shannon, Ireland Destination Guide
    Shannon, Ireland Destination Guide Overview of Shannon The River Shannon and the Shannon region of Ireland are famous for their beauty, but the city bearing the same name is largely overlooked by tourists. Shannon was a 'planned' town, built in the 1960s as a satellite to nearby Limerick. For this reason, the city lacks the old-world charm of many Irish towns. However, Shannon makes a convenient stop on any tour of the country due to its airport, the second largest in Ireland. Because of its location, Shannon is an excellent base for exploring the beautiful County Clare, which includes famous attractions like Bunratty Castle, the Burren Caherconnell Stone Fort, Craggaunowen Castle, the famous Blarney Stone, and Dromoland Castle. Nature lovers will find plenty of spectacular landscapes to explore, including Burren, the Cliffs of Moher, and the beaches of Spanish Point. Shannon is also a good starting point for walking tours of Dingle and the Ring of Kerry, or cruises on the river itself. Dolphin watching is a popular activity from Carrigaholt pier, while Loop Head peninsula is home to a large puffin colony. While the town of Shannon isn't as cosmopolitan as larger cities like Dublin or Galway, it has a good selection of restaurants and bars, and a friendly atmosphere that will make any traveller feel welcome. Key Facts Language: English is the principal language, although a minority of people speak Irish (Gaelic). Passport/Visa: All foreign passengers to Ireland must be able to show proof of sufficient funds to cover their stay in the country. Additionally, passengers should hold return/onward tickets, and the necessary travel documentation for their next destination, as immigration officers might demand that they demonstrate proof of their intention to leave Ireland.
