The first part up to the bridge is pleasant, but the return journey is along a path that runs alongside the road.
You can't help but hear the cars, as the path is no more than 100 metres from the road, and it's not particularly interesting visually either.

A lovely route with beautiful views of the Aulne river, the Térénes bridge, the military boat graveyard and Landévennec Abbey.
The end of the hike is difficult (very hilly and along a path through the woods).

A very beautiful hike. Be careful, there are many fallen trees following Storm Ciara. The entire hike is enjoyable, even at the end, where the trail winds through the forest. Despite the nearby road, you cannot see any cars. Beautiful views of the River Aulne in June, with lovely flora to discover.

A pleasant route that is just a little bit challenging. We enjoyed the extended stop at the Térénez bridge. It's a shame that there is quite a long section where you can hear the noise of traffic from the road.

The end of the route runs alongside the main road, which is very busy with traffic... not a particularly interesting stretch, but otherwise a lovely walk with a beautiful view of the Terennez bridge.

Hello,
We did the route in good weather. It was a real roller coaster ride that made us break a sweat, but what beautiful views! We didn't see many people, but the route must be very busy in summer.
A superb walk. Thank you.
