Lovely easy walking around a beautiful Loch

Route: Loch an Eilein, Rothiemurchus

Date walked: 03/09/2020

Time taken: 2.5 hours

Distance: 7km

Lovely mostly-flat walk around this beautiful loch. Took 3h08m in total according to Strava although that does include stopping for lunch and for taking lots of photos! Moving time was 2h08m.

Definitely worth doing the walk around the ‘not maintained’ path around Loch Gamhna as this lake is much smaller and provides more photographic opportunities - the edge of the loch is also less crowded with trees than the main Loch. The path is very narrow in places through (mainly when going through dense areas of heather).

The main loop around Loch an Eiliein was pretty busy, the loop around the smaller Loch was much quieter.

Lovely walk of two halves - dense woodland and super views!
