Brasparts walks
The 'Au fil de l'eau' route from Brasparts
A hike in the Monts d'Arrée that takes you through the west and north-east of the commune. Along the way, discover the rich religious heritage of Brasparts.
On the trails of the Monts d'Arrée via An Eured Veign
Delve into the heart of the Monts d'Arrée on this beautiful hike that passes by two of its iconic peaks: Ménez-Mikel and Roc'h Cléger. Last stop: a strange megalithic alignment lost in the moorland of "An Eured Veign" (The Wedding of Stones).
Around Lake Brennilis and via Saint-Michel de Braspart.
Le Yeun Ellez, which has been modified since the construction of the nuclear power plant in 1962, is now adorned with the Nestavel dam reservoir. In the past, only the desert moors gave this basin its wild dimension, which Breton legend says constitutes the 'Gates of Hell'.
Let yourself be enchanted by the place and its legends.
The rest of the route takes you up the two neighbouring peaks: Tuchenn Kador (384 m) and Menez Mikel (381 m).
Saint-Rivoal countryside and Monts d'Arrée ridges
Hiking in wild areas, mostly unmarked. Woods, rivers, moors, views of several peaks of the Monts d'Arrée, Lake Brennilis, Saint-Michel Chapel.
Tro Sant Riwal circuit
Nestled in a green valley, this commune has all the charm of the mountain countryside, with its sunken lanes, hedgerows, streams and rugged terrain.
The name of the commune comes from the name of the parish patron saint, Saint Rivoal, formerly Riwall, the name of a large family that emigrated from Brittany to Great Britain in the 5th and 6th centuries.
Saint-Rivoal has been awarded the "Communes du Patrimoine Rural de Bretagne" (Communes of Rural Heritage in Brittany) label.
Route from Chaos de Mardoul to Loqueffret
During this hike, you will discover the Chaos de Mardoul while following in the footsteps of the pilhaouerien, itinerant traders who travelled from farm to farm, laden with earthenware (bowls, plates, dishes) which they exchanged for rags.
Yeun Elez route around Lake Saint-Michel
A beautiful hike around Lake Saint-Michel, with views of the Monts d'Arrée, discovering the Yeun Elez peat bogs, menhirs and legends dear to the writer Anatole Le Braz.
Countryside and religious heritage in Pleyben
Bringing together within the same parish enclosure a church, a calvary, an ossuary and a monumental gate, Pleyben offers its visitors one of the most beautiful religious architectural ensembles in Brittany, listed as a Historic Monument.
This walk also takes you along the old railway line that linked Carhaix to Châteaulin, allowing you to discover one of the six chapels scattered across the countryside: Saint-Laurent, with its lovely calvary and fountain.
Route de Roc'h Bichourel in Botmeur
This short hike will take you to the ridges of the Monts d'Arrée, offering beautiful panoramic views of the Yeun Elez and introducing you to a village steeped in history.
Tour of Lake Drennec
At the gateway to the Monts d'Arrée, this is a short, easy and bucolic walk that never strays far from the lake and is shaded by trees. Crossing the floating footbridge adds a nice touch to this walk.
From the Chapel of Guénily along the banks of the Aulne and through the countryside
Starting from the small chapel at Guénily, a peaceful route between the banks of the channelled Aulne (Nantes-Brest Canal) and the countryside.
Sweeping views over the Montagnes Noires.
In the countryside and around Lake Drennec
A varied route where you can discover aspects of the Breton countryside that have changed little over time. Cross moors and woods, pass through isolated hamlets to return to the lake and its landscaped surroundings.
Ridge, Lake Drennec and countryside from the Mougau Bihan passage grave.
Starting from the beautiful Mougau Bihan covered walkway in Commana, this route crosses the nearby peat bog and then climbs up to a ridge on Mont-d'Arrée. Following this ridge, you reach the shores of Lake Drennec before returning along small country roads.
Aulne towpath and Notre-Dame de Kerluan Chapel
Let's take a leisurely stroll along the canalised Aulne for about 6 km, passing three locks. Then let's head back up small roads towards the Notre-Dame de Kerluan Chapel. Let's climb a little further to finally descend back down to the banks of the Aulne.
Roc'h an Teuz route in La Feuillée
On the border between Léon and Cornouaille, at the foot of the Roc'h mountain range (Roc'h Trédudon, Roc'h Trévézel), the iconic backbone of the Monts d'Arrée, La Feuillée, Brittany's highest village, is well worth a visit.
