Wicklow Way
After watching a sunrise at Lough Dan, you must go to this 130km long trail, which crosses the Wicklow Mountains all the way to South Dublin. This entire trail was used to record some amazing shots of the Vikings fights.
Only there’s no fighting here – outdoor sports only, including hiking, mountain biking and cross running. Hey, maybe if you’re lucky enough you might end up sword fighting alongside Ragnar!
Powerscourt Waterfall

You will never forget this place, not only because it will remind you of a great plot twist in the show, but because is the highest waterfall in Ireland.
