The Fairies' Pond

Highlight • Lake

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.

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.

Path Along the Canal in Parc Naturel Régional d'Armorique

Very pleasant to walk, as the path next to the canal has very little gradient

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!
