Park near the Auberge du Poisson Blanc.
(S/E) Head west, follow the bank of the channelled River Aulne, pass the water sports centre and cross the D785 with care at the bridge.
(1) Continue along the towpath. Old slate quarries line the canal.
(2) Pass the first lock, Stéréon, and its beautiful lock-keeper’s house. Pass the confluence of the Aulne and the Trois Fontaines stream.
(3) Carry on to reach the second lock, KoadPont. On the opposite bank, you can see the village of Vieux-Bourg with its spireless church, believed to date back to the 18th century.
(4) About 500 metres further on, you’ll find picnic tables on the right: why not take a short break?
(5) Turn right and follow the road as it climbs and joins a main road. Continue to the right until you reach a three-way junction.
(6) Turn right onto the road towards Linlouët,
(7) At the Fork in the road, turn right towards this farm, go round it on the left and continue along a path that leads to a road above the Koad Pont lock at a place called Kernevez Ti Virien.
(8) Head up to the left, pass under a power line and arrive at an aerial.
(9) Take a dirt track on the right which very quickly turns right (old sign) to run alongside a field (beautiful views of the Monts d’Arrée to the north and the Montagnes Noires to the west). Continue along this farm track, which is circular, to reach the Pennoc’h farm (a tricky, sometimes muddy section due to livestock passing through, for about 400 metres before the farm).
(10) At the farm, turn right and follow the path down into the woods, then proceed with caution along a cleared track through the woods. Walk alongside a meadow until you reach a cypress hedge.
(12) Go round the Stéréon farm and head up to the left (old sign) onto the farm track, which then turns to the right. Follow it for about 500 metres.
(12) Take a grassy track, keeping the power line on your left. This poorly maintained path descends steeply to join the D785. Cross carefully at the pedestrian crossing and head opposite to return to the inn’s car park (S/E).
