Mine canal and Rivière d'Argent in Huelgoat
Does the Rivière d'Argent (Silver River), which glitters beneath the canopy of trees, owe its name to its bright sparkle in the twilight, or is it the nuggets that have escaped from the old mine that give it such a luminous appearance? The walk, which follows the mine's supply channel and then the turbulent course of the river, may provide the answer.
It appears that the route is no longer passable between points 4 and 6. If you venture there, please confirm this on the comments page.

The Monts d'Arrée
Mountains in Brittany? It's possible.
Despite their low altitude, the Monts d'Arrée offer a real mountain setting with rocks emerging from the moorland.
This route along the mountain ridges will immerse you in a landscape of heather, gorse and rocky ridges similar to those found in Ireland or Wales.
Please note: Since the fires of summer 2022, a municipal decree prohibits passage through the peat bog before the point (10). The circular is currently impossible.
