“40 Shades of Green” - Johnny Cash's famous song does the green island an injustice. Because anyone who has visited it once knows that there are not only more than forty shades of green to be admired, but also the typical Irish play of colors of yellow gorse, forests of purple rhododendrons and the blue of the sea.  

​

In addition to the lovely green landscapes and quiet, dreamy lakes, the rugged coastal and karst landscapes also lure you into mystical worlds. No wonder that the country has not only produced a wealth of legends, but also an impressive literature with famous names such as Swift, Yeats, Beckett, Heaney, Wilde and Joyce. The breathtaking Irish landscape arouses imagination and creativity and one would almost believe that the fairies and leprechauns actually live behind the next hill.
