Access: From Quimper, take the D20 called "Route des Châteaux" and follow it towards Plomelin. Just after the Kroaz an Trébé crossroads, turn left (signposted Moulin de Rossulien, Odet).
The large car park is signposted on the left.
PR Bourg et Garenne marked in yellow
(S/E) At the end of the car park, continue across the grassy area with picnic tables and you will come to a road that is closed to all but authorised users. Pass the entrance to the Château de Kerambleïz (private) on your left and note the old wash house on your left. You will come to a fork near a footbridge over the stream that feeds the mill.
Off the marked trail
(1) Ignore this footbridge for now and continue downhill to reach the Rossulien slipway, the embarkation point for water sports. Viewpoint over the Odet. Do not go too far down as the slipway can be slippery due to clay and seaweed.
(2) Turn around and, on your way back up, take the stairs on the left to reach the Rossulien Mill, already mentioned on Cassini's map in 1750 and restored in 2020 to working order (free to visit). Continue to the footbridge (picnic table).

(1) Cross the footbridge, turn left and take the wide path into the woods. On your left, you will see the pipe that carries water to the mill wheel. Continue straight ahead until you reach a fork in the path.
(3) Continue straight ahead on the wide path overlooking the river, leaving the path on the right, which will be the return route. You will come to a rocky outcrop on the left, which offers a beautiful view of the river bend (Saut de la Pucelle, explanation below). Please note: this area is not secure and is not suitable for children.
Continue along this wide path until you reach another rocky outcrop, which can be accessed via a staircase. Caution! This area is not secure and is not suitable for children.
A little further on, ignore a path leading off to the right and continue to a signpost before a staircase. Ignore the next path on the right and continue to the left until you reach the banks of the Odet opposite the Vire-Court, the name given to this very sharp bend in the river which causes strong currents and whirlpools.
(4) Go back up the path and follow it to the left. It becomes narrower and is covered with heather in July. You will arrive at a beautiful viewpoint overlooking the meander (signpost).
No markings
(5) Leave the path along the river and turn right at the hairpin bend to climb into the woods (yellow cross). Follow this beautiful stone path which runs alongside the fence of Rosssulien Castle, which you will never see. Ignore the two paths that branch off to the right and continue climbing steadily until you reach a flat area offering a view of Kerambleïz Castle perched on the hilltop.
Begin a steady descent to the path along the Odet river.

(3) Turn left and retrace your steps in the opposite direction.
(1) At the road, go up to the left to reach the Rossulien car park (S/E).
