Brittany

The Breton coastal hiking trail, the Sentier Côtier GR 34, offers magnificent views from the headlands it passes. One section of the route, for example, leads from the Pointe du Raz via the Cape le Chevre to the Pointe de PenHir near Camaret sur Mer.

The route requires not only good fitness but also a lot of technique, because you always have to find the right footing in the microcosm of the narrow trails, which are occasionally covered in sharp stones and rubble - a dangerous challenge when it's raining. You have to be able to rely on your body taking the right steps in the "endurance runner flow", your head is much too slow.

The article shows the trails and views between Pen Hir and Camaret sur Mer.
