Guerlédan's Lake
Plus grand lac de Bretagne avec une superficie de 400 hectares et 12 km de longueur, le lac de Guerlédan se niche au cœur du massif forestier de Quénécan, entre Mûr-de-Bretagne et l’Abbaye de Bon Repos. Un véritable océan d'eau douce lové dans une vallée encaissée qui donne des allures de petite montagne !
Itinerary
Towpath up to the Bellevue Lock and very uneven ground to reach the former steam train tracks (shared section EV1-V6 through to Mûr-de-Bretagne).
Connection
Greenway to Mûr-de-Bretagne.
