Camors - Le circuit Tro Bourk

Duration : 3hDistance : 12 kmDifficulty level: Medium Orange markings - all year round Camors national forest (650 ha), Petit Bois site, Saint-Gobrien chapel and its fountain, Korrigans stream and washhouses: there are many discoveries here. Departure: Cross the road. Walk along the pond under the Petit Bois room to the small footbridge. Le Petit Bois is a park dedicated to relaxation, leisure and sports with a pond where it is possible to fish, picnic areas, a sports course and a tree climbing park. Cross the footbridge, immediately turn right onto a path through the woods. After a descent, turn right along the Motte stream. Going straight ahead, pass near the La Motte mill and near magnificent rocks.Near the pond of the mill of La Motte remain the remains of several buildings making up the medieval castle of Comorre, located on a barred spur (rocky promontory whose isthmus has been cut by an entrenchment). Step by step : 1) Turn right (wooden footbridge), follow the path slightly uphill. Continue on a wide path, cross the road, follow the small path through the woods near the Saint-Gobrien Chapel. Associated with a devotional fountain, the St-Gobrien chapel was remodeled in the 16th century. See the two pointed arch doors crowned with a torus, a window adorned with four-leaf and clover motifs, the steeple covered with slates and surmounted by a wrought iron cross. Invoked locally to promote clemency in atmospheric conditions, St.Gobrien is also prayed for for young children. At the exit of the wood, follow the D768 on the right (attention: road with heavy traffic). At 100 m, cross it and walk along the field.Follow the path until the intersection with a small road. Turn left on this road. Cross Kerniel and its cider house, turn right by the road and, again, right to pass in front of the wash house and the Saint-Jean fountain. Go up a wide path to the intersection with a small road. Take this road to the right. 2) After 200 m, turn left to the Korrigans stream below. A small valley shelters this stream which winds between the high rocks of the forest. This "magical" landscape invites the imagination of Breton legends. Follow it for 2 km. After passing through a tunnel and several small footbridges, arrive at the D779 at a place called Pont Neuf. 3) Turn left, cross the D779 and, on the right, go up the small road to rue des Sabotiers. Take this street on the left. After 100 m, turn right and join the D768. Cross it. Enter the woods, follow the path to pass in front of the wash house and the Larrons fountain.Go straight for a return to the starting point.
