    Tips

    July 13, 2022

    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.
