Hiking
This approximately 19-kilometer circular hike takes you to the Ploubazlanec cemetery at the beginning - and to the Wall of the Disappeared. Here the Icelandic fishermen are commemorated, who lost their lives in the dangerous cod fishing and disappeared in the Arctic Ocean.
After the excursion into the history of fishing, the tour shows you a more agricultural and everyday Brittany: small feeder roads that lead you past farmsteads, fields, meadows and greenhouses. The route across the country gives you a little insight into the local structures, instead of taking you past everyday life on specially created tourist paths.
In Loguivy de la Mer you then meet the long-distance hiking trail GR34 and follow it along the coast east and south back to the starting point. Very varied, the path leads you directly along the coast, sometimes through the fields of the farmers or small side streets in the villages and then again through dense forest.
Sturdy shoes are required. This path offers pretty much everything that is possible in terms of path quality. And when it rained, some sections are very muddy.
