Sruth in Aghaidh an Aird, Natural cascade in Dartry Mountains, Ireland
The 150-meter waterfall descends from the Dartry Mountains plateau into Glencar Lough, creating vertical streams along limestone cliffs.
The waterfall marked territorial boundaries of the ancient túath of Cairbre Drom Cliabh, defining geographical divisions in medieval Irish administration.
Local residents refer to the cascade as The Devil's Chimney, and its name in Irish means 'stream against the height'.
A 2.5-kilometer looped trail leads visitors through woodland paths and includes steps on steeper sections, requiring appropriate hiking footwear.
During strong southerly winds, the water flow reverses direction and moves upward against the cliff face instead of falling downward.
