Huelgoat

A long time ago there was a battle between giants at Huelgoat. They attacked each other with enormous granite stones, and that’s why we find the rocks the way they are today.



When I saw the name “Huelgoat”, the first thing I thought of was Huey Louis and the Goats. But it’s pronounced “Ooh-el-gwat.” And since it attracts tourists passing though the area, there’s a lot of confusion when asking locals for directions.



The entire area is open to the public, and it wasn’t until recently that handrails were put up. Before, people could slip and it would take weeks before their bodies would surface further down the river. The rocks are especially slick in the “Devil’s Cave.”
