Rivère d'Argent (rivère) - Affluent de l'Aulne walks

In the heart of the Huelgoat Forest, this woodland setting hides a wealth of heritage treasures. The Mine Canal will take you to the old silver-lead mine and then on to the most iconic sites in this legendary forest.

This hike takes you from the foot of the Monts d'Arrée to the ridge, which rises to 385 m, with superb panoramic views on both sides.

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 walk is mainly in the Forest of Huelgoat, starting from Lake Huelgoat with little elevation gain. Points of interest: the Devil's Cave, the Virgin's Household, the Trembling Rock, the Red Bridge, Artus' Cave, the Menhir of the Boar Pond, the Boar Pond, the viewpoint, Artus' Camp.

Discover the superb panoramic views to the north and south from the summit of the Monts d'Arrée. This fairly strenuous hike takes you across the moorland ridges, through the small village of Plounéour-Ménez, and then along the wooded paths of the forest around La Feuillée.

A hike in the heart of the Huelgoat forest, rich in legends but away from the tourist trails. A typical Central Brittany landscape awaits you with forests, hills, valleys, rivers, houses, calvaries and Breton churches.
