Today's hike is probably one of the 10 most beautiful hikes in Brittany.
Many French tourists think so, which is confirmed by the number of people.
Despite the relatively large number of hikers, this hiking trail is a truly beautiful spot in Brittany. We started a little way from the main parking lot and first walked across a campsite, where …

Today, we're heading to the Huelgoat Forest. Numerous Celtic myths surround the Huelgoat Forest. Fairies supposedly combed their long hair, but why in the forest? There are also standing stones, the Devil's Cave (Grotte du Diable), the Arthurian Camp (Camp d'Artus), its eponymous cave, and the Gouffre (Abyss). All very worth seeing, but a bit strenuous... 🙆‍♂️

Beautiful walk in the forest in the fresh, in the middle of the granite chaos of all beauty 😍 First part along the remarkable sites, very busy, and second half towards the old silver mine much calmer and wilder. The return to Huelgoat along the canal that fed this mine is very relaxing. Impressive landscapes 👍

The tour is really beautiful!
We became quite sentimental; We are very happy that there are still such untouched and species-rich forests. Here the forest is "allowed" to manage on its own, and it does it wonderfully.
Every Brittany holidaymaker should take this hike with them...
