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...

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 👍

Those arriving by car can also use one of the other parking spaces along the route. You should also give yourself the gift of crossing the canal for the first time, as the path is overgrown with blackberries and nettles. You can also get along on the route if you just follow the path to the right of the canal. …
