Forêt d'Huelgoat

The Huelgoat Forest extends across 10 square kilometers, featuring large granite boulders scattered throughout dense woodland and flowing streams.

The forest surrounds a lake created between the 16th and 18th centuries to supply water to nearby silver-lead mines.

Local stories tell of the giant Gargantua who created the boulder formations after receiving insufficient food from village residents.

The forest paths require sturdy footwear as they traverse uneven terrain, particularly around the slippery rock formations and narrow passages.

The Trembling Rock, weighing over 100 tons, demonstrates unusual physical properties as visitors can make it move with applied pressure.
