Fáilte go Bóithre Portaigh Sheana Mhach.
Welcome to Seana Mhach Bogland Trail.
Seo conair siúil trí bhóithre portaigh a úsáidtí chun móin a bhaint a théadh teaghlaigh Chonamara.
Sa lá atá inniu ann, agus laghdú ag teacht ar bhaint móna, tá athnuachan á dhéanamh ar an áit. Sa treoir fuaime seo, inseoimid duit faoi stair ársa Sheana Mhach. Inseoimid conas plandaí agus ainmhithe a aithint. Agus ardóimid na súile chun taitneamh agus tairbhe a bhaint as na spéartha dorcha atá ós ár gcinn, na radharcanna céanna ar a bhreathnaigh muintir dúchasacha na háite seo orthu na mílte bliain ó shin.
Is córas saor in aisce é TrailAudio, a thugann treoir duit agus an conair á shiúil agat. Déanann sé cur síos ar radharcanna, stair agus dúlra na háite. Tá sé ar fáil i nGaeilge, Béarla, Fraincís agus Gearmáinis trí scanadh a dhéanamh ar an gcód QR atá ar na comharthaí.
A beautiful walk along the ancient boglands of Connemara. The trails around you were built to bring home the turf used to heat our homes.
Nowadays, as turf cutting diminishes, the bog’s natural habitats are being restored. This audio guide will reach back into prehistory to tell you about the origins of Seana Mhach. We’ll help you identify the many plants and animal species that are being revived here. And we’ll show you how to enjoy the spectacular night skies, using stargazing techniques that no doubt we share with the very first inhabitants of these parts thousands of years ago.
TrailAudio is a free online web and application based platform that guides you along the trail. It describes the area’s scenery, history and biodiversity and is available in Irish, English, French and German by scanning each sign’s QR code.
Tá an TrailAudio seo maoinithe ag Údarás na Gaeltachta.
