Description of the walk

Park at the picnic area by the Sainte-Véronique Chapel.

(S/E) Head left to cross the D765 with care, then follow the road straight ahead to the end. At a place called Kerprima, continue along the path opposite, which runs parallel to the road.

(1) Go under the railway bridge and follow the railway line to the right.

(2) Take the second path on the left, which passes near the sewage treatment plant after Ster Goz. You will reach Troganvel Farm.

(3) Turn onto the main track opposite. Continue until you reach the hamlet of Loretta.

(4) At the Stop sign, take the road opposite (slightly to the right), pass two roads on the left and turn onto the next path branching off to the left. At the road, turn right and, at the junction, follow the road opposite towards Rumérou. You’ll come to a T-junction.

(5) Head to the right. The road will give way to a track. Pass a track on the right and head towards Kergallic.

(6) Follow the road to the left and, at the T-junction, turn right. Continue for about 150 metres.

(7) Continue along the road that bends to the right, pass Rozhuel and follow the track. You can shorten the route by taking the road on the left to reach the next point, at a Fork in the road with the Route de Rozhuel.

(8) At the fork in the road, stay on the road. Head towards the D765.

(9) Turn right, go under the railway line and take the small road to rejoin the D765. Cross the road with care.

(10) Walk alongside the small car park and the D765, taking care at all times. Further on, turn left towards Keromnès.

(11) Follow the path opposite, ignoring the two paths on the right. Pass Kerscouarnec and follow the road.

(12) At the crossroads, turn right and carry on to reach the starting point (S/E).

A lovely walk in the Banalécois countryside
The only downside is that the paths are a bit untidy in places.
Unfortunately, a great many hiking trails haven’t been cleared. It’s a shame.

A lovely walk in the countryside, though there was a slight downside along the D765 near Bannalec and the Rozhuel mill...
