Circular route around Méné Hoguené

de fr

A very pretty circular walk around and over Méné Hoguené, a peak in the Monts d’Arrée, neighbouring the better-known Ménez Bré. Yet the view over inland Brittany is truly beautiful: hedgerows, moorland and even a very pretty chapel. Well worth a visit...

This short, easy walk takes you through the Louargat countryside to discover the two menhirs of Pergat, one of which is among the largest in Europe. You’ll follow the Ruisseau du Frout through its valley, which can be quite damp in places, before reaching the hamlet of Manaty.

⚑Departure from Belle-Isle-en-Terre (Côtes-d'Armor)
To the south of Belle-Île-en-Terre, a forest hides many secrets. It comprises two parts separated by the Léguer river: to the east, the Coat an Hay State Forest (Le Bois du Jour) and to the west, the Coat an Noz State Forest (Le Bois de la Nuit). In the latter, with a 19th-century castle undergoing restoration and a former ironworks site (lead mine), the route follows wide paths that are sometimes poorly lit by daylight.

↔7.15 mi ↗+200 ft ↘-200 ft ◔3h 30 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Louargat (Côtes-d'Armor)
There is virtually no elevation gain on this route, which follows small forest paths alongside a river and stream, allowing you to enjoy the sound of the water and the birdsong. There is no answer to the mystery of the menhirs when faced with this colossus weighing several tonnes, which has stood in this small clearing for over 5,000 years.
