June 16, 2025,Huelgoat Runde (Armorika "Wunderwald")

Starting in Huelgoat (in the heart of Brittany) at the lake of the same name, the most wondrous rock formations accompany you at every turn on a tour through the Huelgoat Forest. Absolutely worth it!

Enchanted forest, you should plan time. Lots of stops to watch, read, take pictures, dream. Then buy baguette and cheese in town and have a picnic by the lake :-)

"Magic forest" could not describe more aptly how the forest shows itself! A place of legends that brings to life. Caves, mossy trees, big rocks. There is something for everyone here. Also great for children and definitely beautiful in autumn! Absolutely recommendable!

Very beautiful place that is characterized by its location and surroundings. Huge stones, strangely shaped, not described as chaotic for nothing, great formations, a devil's grotto and places from the Arthurian legend can be seen here, as well as a 130 tonne rocking stone.. Plus the river that supplies everything with life, the lake in the village, simply beautiful here🤩🤩🤩
