The Léguer on the outskirts of Le Danot

Car park at the Danot road junction, where there is a small picnic area.

(S/E) Leave the “Danot junction” heading north-east and join the D30 local road, which you should follow to the left.
To avoid a stretch of tarmac, take the track on the left towards Convenant Sidaner, then turn right to rejoin the D30.
After 20 metres, take the track on the left which, after a bend to the right, becomes a footpath heading north.

(1) Cross the D30 and continue straight ahead along a path that isn’t shown on maps.
Cross a stream and head uphill to reach a country road.

(2) Turn left, then carry on straight ahead at the junction.
When the track turns sharply left, carry on straight ahead along a path heading north,
Continue along this path until you reach Kerrivoalan.

(3) Carry on straight ahead, towards the chapel. It will be on your left.
Pass a waterhole on your right – the remains of an old quarry – and head downhill to reach a wider path, which you should follow to the left.
As it descends, the path makes a 180° bend and then runs alongside the Léguer.
Continue along the river and, after going round a building on your right, cross it via the two footbridges provided.

(4) Turn left and then immediately right to go round the oppidum and reach Saint-Fiacre. Continue southwards.

(5) Take the path on the left (often damp due to a stream).
At the next hamlet (Komanat an Hern), turn left. The path follows, more or less closely, the D30 as it curves widely.
When you reach a building called ‘Le Losser’ (the name is still visible on the façade), the path joins the D30. Cross the bridge over the Léguer and then take the path on the left.
After about a hundred metres, the path joins the D30, which takes a left-hand bend

(6) Cross the D30 and follow the path to the right, which makes two 90° bends to the right.

No signposting

(7) Take a small path on the right leading downhill. Join the Léguer and follow it against the current.
Note: at this point, if you turn round, you can see, through the foliage, a huge rock standing vertically: this is a cave dwelling that is occupied all year round.
Continue along this path, which leads to a road.

(8) Turn left. Pass the lodge on your left, then, at the right-hand bend, take the path (not shown on maps) to the left. Heading north-east at first, it veers off, then turns north; after crossing a stream, it heads north-west and joins a track heading west.
Continue westwards.

(9) Turn right, heading north, and carry on until you reach a three-way junction.

No markings

(10) Take the path on the right (the one on the left leads back to (7)).
The path becomes a track and then a road as it passes through the hamlet of Danot. Continue eastwards to return to the starting point (S/E).

Although some paths do not appear on the 1:25,000 maps, the route shown has been mapped using a GPS. It therefore guarantees a trouble-free journey.

Between (4) and (7), the route follows the^GR®34Amarkings (red and white), as it does at (9) and (10), but in the opposite direction.

(6) Alternative route: by continuing straight on, i.e. following the^GR®34A, you reach (10), 50 metres away. From there, turning left, you can reach Danot and then the starting point. This shortens the route by more than three kilometres.

CAUTION: On several occasions, the route runs alongside the D30 local road. Drivers tend to drive quite fast at times as they are unaware that this is a walking route
