Boars' Pond

Highlight • Lake

Some believe that boars once bathed in the water here, others believe that the rocks in the water are meant to represent wild boars. I guess it's the second option...

Arthur's Cave

Highlight • Gorge

Another magical place in this forest is Artus Cave. It is indeed King Arthur who would have taken refuge in this cave. Artus also means bear.

So is this cave connected to the legend of a Breton king that later became myth or more prosaically is it connected to a bear's den? It's up to you to choose between reason and legend. In any case, it is a splendid place to discover.

Gouffre de Huelgoat Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The chasm of the Huelgoat forest also has its tragic legend which suits the tales of Brittany so well. It's very rare in fact that it doesn't end in a hair-raising drama.

That of the Abyss is no exception to the rule: A libertine princess came to get rid of her one-night lovers by throwing them into this abyss. The result of her actions: she transforms into a mermaid and is condemned to wander and come every evening to sing of the loss of the unfortunate.

On the practical side you will see the small 10 meter waterfall disappear under the rocky chaos to reappear 300 meters further. It's just as fascinating as the legend.

Huelgoat

Highlight • Other

Huelgoat is located in the heart of the regional natural park of Armorica on the edge of a lake and above all very close to the natural site of Chaos Granitique d'Huelgoat. You can access it by a small path located just before the bridge from which the river starts. Here you go for a walk in the middle of its immense rocks while following the wild river, all in the setting of a magnificent beech grove.

16th century church, listed as a historic monument.
A three-nave building with transepts and a polygonal apse, it was rebuilt at different times. Inside, there is a wooden vault with sculpted beams.
