Arthur's Cave
Highlight • Gorge
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.

The Fairies' Pond
Highlight • Lake
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.

Gouffre de Huelgoat Waterfall
Highlight • Waterfall
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.
