Departure from the car park of the Beffou Departmental Forest.
This is the starting point for several short educational forest routes with information boards explaining the different species of trees and animals that can be found in this forest.
(S/E) Leave the car park heading west on the Laie Sommière Nord (wide path). Take the path on the left between plot numbers 24 and 25 and head south. When you reach the D11 road, cross it and take the path on the left heading south-east. Plot number 8 is indicated. Continue along this path.
(1) Take a wide path on the left and, after 70 metres, turn left onto the path. Heading due north, it leads to a bridle path which you follow to the right for 30 metres, then turn left. When you reach the D119 departmental road, follow it to the right for 50 metres, then take the path on the left and continue north.
(2) At Toul ar Hoat, take the path on the left. It starts off heading due west, then curves and ends up heading south-west, joining the D119 road. Follow it on the right towards the south-west to reach the D11 road. Cross the D11 and continue along the path directly opposite.
(3) At a fork in the path, continue to the right and then to the left, going uphill (west-southwest). The path leads to Laie Sommière Nord, which you should follow to the right. Continue on Laie Sommière, leaving Étang des Compréjou on your left.
(4) At the top of the hill, take the path on the left.
Off the route - After 200 metres, there is a sign indicating that the Allée Couverte du Brohet is 300 metres away. Please note that access is difficult as nature has taken over and several large stones have fallen.
Turn onto the first path on the right, cross the Laie Sommière Sud and continue straight ahead.
(5) Turn left onto a wide path and continue on it in a north-easterly direction until you reach the Laie Sommière Sud.
(6) Take this path, turning right to head due east. Continue straight on until you reach Carrefour du Pavé (elevation 323 metres - the highest point in Trégor). Continue straight on and begin the descent.
(7) From this point until the next, the route is marked by the mountain bike route.
Take the path on the left. Before the climb, take the path on the right which turns left and then right. At the crossroads (you can see Colonel Guillet's forest house on the right, between the trees), turn left to reach La Laie Sommière Nord.
(8) The car park is a few hundred metres to the right, but before you get there, you need to find the Sentier du Sabotier trail.
Take the Laie Sommière on the left, then, after 50 metres, take a small path on the right opposite a sign with a picture of a man's head. You will come to a fork.
(3) Turn right before reaching the road. The path winds through the forest and is marked with information panels about the local flora and fauna. Back on Laie Sommière, turn left to return to the car park. (S/E).
