Chaos Mill

Highlight • Other

Just after the bridge over the dam lake is this mill, built in the 16th century with typical granite stones - one of the gateways to the "chaos", the wild rocks. In the past, it housed a dwelling house and a room in which the mechanisms of the mill were located. It was fed by an artificial lake of 15 hectares which collected the waters of two rivers, including the Fao.

Chaos of the Virgin's Household

Highlight • Other

With all my imagination I couldn't see what could conclude a household or a virgin here, but it is a beautiful place, especially when the sun makes the mossy rocks shine!

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...

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.
