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.

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.

The Fairies' Pond

Highlight • Lake

La Mare aux Fées is one of the many emblematic places that you will encounter in the mysterious and magical forest of Huelgoat.

There is of course a legend that says fairies came here to comb their long golden hair. Woe to those who surprised them!

The orange color of the water comes from its high iron content. It is one of the particularities - with for example the presence of plants such as the eagle fern, the purple foxglove, or even the broom - that you evolve well on granite soil.

Serving as a refreshment bar and stopover gîte between Roscoff and Concarneau, the old station in Scrignac is located on the old railway line transformed into a greenway (No. 1 and No. 7). It welcomes all types of hikers by bike and on foot.

It is equidistant (25 kms) from Morlaix and Carhaix near Huelgoat with its legendary forest, its granite chaos and its astonishing Arboretum. The gîte is directly on the Vélodyssée route and on the GR380.

The village of Cloître Saint-Thégonnec has the particularity of having a museum around the Wolf.

Saint Hervé, a Breton saint is always represented accompanied by his wolf, and he naturally finds his place within the exhibition.

There was a time not so long ago when wolves were present throughout the territory, including in Brittany.

For more information on this museum see the following website: museeduloup.fr

Very special and mystical forest area where sometimes we find ourselves in the land of giants.

The Devil's Cave

Highlight • Natural Monument

Steep tunnel descending under the rocks. We quickly find ourselves in the dark, and we can observe the river flowing below. A guardrail allows you to hold on along the descent, but the moss and humidity make the path slippery. However, the atmosphere of the place is magical.
