Nature & small heritage

After Morlaix, almost alone in the world, you will cycle on an old railway line that has become a greenway, very wooded where you will probably come across a few caravans and horse riders. Then the forests give way to the characteristic moors of the Monts d'Arrée. A very natural bike ride in total immersion, you unfold the greenway in complete serenity. A few kilometers from the greenway, Huelgoat, its lake and its forest including the famous Trembling Rock are well worth tackling a steep climb. You will finish this stage in Carhaix, the meeting place of the "Vieilles Charrues"!

The greenway leads to the center of Carhaix. You'll pass the train station, then a marked route through town will take you to the Nantes-Brest Canal via the VV7, which takes you to the canal.
