Beyond Route 66: Ten More Road Trips-- Part 2: Coastlines, Castles and Mountains

6.  WILD ATLANTIC WAY (REPUBLIC IRELAND)

Longest coastal route in the world.  Spans entire length of Ireland,  1553 miles  2-4 weeks.  Enormous cliffs, incredible beaches.

Hohe Tauren National Park.  Austria's highest mountain Grossglockner and its glacier, the Pasterze.
