Djouce, at 725m, is the seventh tallest mountain in County Wicklow, Ireland. The mountain, as typical of the rest of Ireland, was clearfelled during the 17th and 18th centuries, mostly due to the need of wood for shipbuilding. An artificially planted Sitka spruce plantation now lies on its eastern slope. The Wicklow Way, the oldest way-marked route in Ireland, is visible to the left, crossing over the River Dargle as it falls towards Powerscourt Waterfall, the tallest waterfall on the island.
