About
Starting from the village of Kerarno, this Plouharnel trail is a walk among the megaliths. The Crucuno quadrilateral, an enclosure of 22 menhirs listed as a historic monument in 1889, is aligned with sunrise and sunset at the solstices. Close by, the Crucuno dolmen keeps its burial chamber under a capstone of more than 30 tonnes. After the Kergazec wash house, a short detour leads to the Kergazec dolmen, restored in 1935. The 18th century Saint-Antoine chapel brings together a spring, a wash house, a cross and a calvary. The way back follows the Varquez pond and passes the Mané Remor dolmens, the highest point in the commune. The loop is 9.1 km long; allow about 2 h 15 of walking. The stated level is easy. Start: the car park in the village of Kerarno, in Plouharnel. The waymarking is yellow.
