The path at point 5 no longer exists; you must proceed a little further to follow the black path on the map.

Interesting route. One point, however: if you follow the GPX file after the hamlet of Kernié, the trail takes you onto an unmaintained path that is blocked. It is easy to retrace your steps and take the carriage road that leads you to the sea.

A very beautiful hike along numerous sunken paths, surrounded by lush vegetation. Beautiful panoramic views of Brest harbour.

Hello Djihice,
I would like to do this walk again and would like to know the current state of the route following the storm in November 2023. As you have just done it, please could you tell me more about it? This place inspires me and is often on my mind.

A short Saturday morning stroll under the Plougastel sun. A fairly varied route, along the coast or through wooded paths I can confirm what several people have mentioned, at point 5 towards Kernié. It would be good to correct this to avoid people getting lost. For my part, I loaded the GPX track into the brilliant OsmAnd app (I download the maps to my phone and switch to aeroplane mode, which allows me to have a map even when there is no GSM network).
Thank you in any case for sharing this, I think I'll do it again. As a result, the distance was a little longer (9.6 km) and it took me just under 2 hours. I also think that given the number of paths you can see on the right and left of the route, there is the possibility of making variations to lengthen or shorten it if necessary.

I had printed out the description, but it ended up at the bottom of my bag, somewhat useless. As previous comments mentioned, it lacked detail. For example, when referring to houses, giving the number could be a good indicator (at point 1, I think, saying to turn left onto the dirt road after house no. 330 would be more precise).
In addition, I think the storm of 2023 must have left its mark, as some parts of the path were impassable due to fallen trees (particularly at point 5).
However, the trail is still helpful, with the exception of points 3 (I almost turned back because I couldn't find where to continue and ended up with both feet in a kind of swamp... My bad, I didn't test the depth with a stick) and 5 (since the path is blocked by a tree that completely blocks access). Google Maps helped me a lot with these points.
As for the hike itself, it's fantastic! The landscapes are varied, taking you from the forest to the seaside, passing by a pond, but also some very pretty little "villages". It's very quiet (I went there on Sunday afternoon in beautiful weather and didn't meet many people). Be sure to wear high-top shoes with studs, as the path remains muddy in the woods despite the rather dry weather.
In the end, it was a 9.9 km hike that took 3 hours and 40 minutes, resulting in lots of great photos on my phone and sore legs
I might do it again, making sure I have a fully charged phone so I can use the GPS
Many thanks for this beautiful route!

A pleasant route with a bit of everything: paths, roadsides and slightly more rugged trails. The landscapes vary between woodland and seaside.
I didn't use the description because I ran the route, so I imported the GPX track into my watch. I noticed an error in the track, which leads us to a non-existent path at km 5. Do not turn left onto the tiny path indicated (it ends in a cul-de-sac), but continue straight ahead for a few more metres before turning left onto a fairly wide path.
PS: I can share the corrected track if someone tells me how to do it.

Hello. First attempt via Visorando and a big disappointment due to the significant inaccuracies in the description (the only thing I personally took into account when setting off (stages S/E (1) to (9) S/E). The worst (which is a major error) is point 3), second line: "At the end of the path, turn right". We walked along and then crossed the stream and, at the end of the path, walked several hundred metres "to the right". Fortunately, maps.me on my friend's mobile phone allowed us to turn back because (and I am convinced that there can be no other solution than to turn LEFT after crossing the stream to get to Caro pond.
Other approximations include: (5) "before leaving the village"; to know when you have left the village, you have to cross it entirely (there is another path on the left before a single visible house, which leads nowhere). It would suffice to mention the distances ("at 100m, take..."). It would also be a good idea to suggest following the yellow markings of an existing route.
In short, a lot of U-turns, checking your phone, and hesitation spoiled the journey through some stunning scenery...

Hello Gwen,
I did think about it, but I figured that by climbing the ridge, we would reach the other side and make our way back to L'Auberlac'h.
The hike is superb, surprisingly varied and allows you to discover hamlets and sunken paths worthy of ancient times, in an almost untouched natural setting where water is omnipresent: authentic Brittany in a Pen Ar Bed with inexhaustible treasures.
Yesterday, I went on a superb hike on the border between Loperhet and Plougastel, which I don't think is listed in Visorando and which I would call "The three mills route".
However, I wouldn't know how to create a file as well as you do. Nevertheless, I can guide you if you wish.
Thank you again for your remarkable work.
Kind regards.

Thank you, Odnarosiv,
I have made the suggested change. Sorry for misleading you. You could have caught up with Kernié by turning at the next corner.

Having discovered the route for the first time at point 5, as there are absolutely no signs and it is unclear whether at this precise location the route deviates from the coast, I suggest adding the following instruction: "When the path deviates from the coast, do not continue straight ahead, but turn left at a right angle to reach Kernié. Cross Kernié......"

Point 5 took us far too far and, given the time, we had to return along the busy, particularly dangerous and noisy Armorique road.
Nevertheless, we would like to do it again very soon, because of its great variety.
Thank you again.
