Designated track and very steep descent into the Guerlédan dam towards Pontivy. Here the Blavet is no longer navigable. The steep-sided valley, imposing lock keepers’ buildings and lush vegetation, give this stage of La Vélodyssée an enchanting feel.

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 !
