Djouce, Mountain summit in County Wicklow, Ireland

The 725-meter peak features rocky outcrops of mica schist and stands as the 74th highest mountain in Ireland according to the Arderin scale.

The mountain's name originates from the Irish word 'Dioghais', meaning fortified height, reflecting its position in the northeastern section of the Wicklow Mountains.

The J.B. Malone memorial stone on the southern slopes commemorates the creator of the 131-kilometer Wicklow Way walking trail network.

The Office of Public Works maintains a boarded mountain trail using railway sleepers from the base to near the summit to protect the underlying bog.

In 1946, a Junkers Ju 52/3m aircraft crashed on the southwestern slopes with 21 girl guides aboard, resulting in injuries but no fatalities.
