TREASURE TRAILSThe wandering knight's
trail
Hunting for treasure
The tresure trove of the wandering knight
Have you heard of "cistes" or treasure troves? Whether or
not, these tourist treasure hunts are becoming more and more
well-known. The phenomenon is growing thanks to the
internet. You just have to print out an enigma and set off
as we did into the mysterious forest of Huelgoat...
" Once upon a time, there was a young virgin who
was walking alongside the canal, she went over the bridge
named Gwen, crossed the camp and made a start upon the path
which led to the mill. " The title of the enigma in hand,
all you need to do is follow step by step the indications of
this trail step by step putting yourself in the plce of this
virgin from the time of King Arthur.
Direction(Management) thus the bridge(deck) Gwen to make
a ballad in forest of Huelgoat... " Making Road, her(it)
collected a mushroom and enjoyed it.
So we set off towards Gwen bridge to have a walk in
the forest of Huelgoat... "Making her way along this road,
she picked a mushroom and ate it. Suddenly she was overcome
by evil and started trembling within minutes, so much so
that she almost fell into an abyss. "
After a stopover at the mill of the Chaos, our quest thus
leads us to the mushroom, then to the trembling rock which
is an integral part of the myths and legends surrounding
Huelgoat.
"Fortunately a fairy passed by, and just like that with a
wave of her wand, she put her back on her feet and advised
her to go and rest in Artus's lodging house. "
After a break well deserved, it was time to join the
lodging house of Artus if we wanted to be able to
complete our mission and find the treasure... Because, of
course, we didn't tell you but at the end of this
expedition, there is a box left by the trail maker, the
creator of the enigma.
Ok, it's true, the treasure is really only symbolic: a
pencil, a figurine at the most.
But by finding it, we obtain the right to leave an
object, as proof of our passage on the site.
" But our young lady feared the devil so much that she
preferred to quickly return to her lodging house. When you
find the place to go, take that route dear to Yves. "
By intuition, it is to the Virgin's Kitchen (Ménage de la
Vierge) that we finally head for, near a small bridge. We
cross it as indicated...
" Then walk past the sign post, go along past rocks, put
on your boots! A green tuft, approximately 1,3 m from the
ground yu will find the King's treasure.
We getting warm! Regrettably near the rocks, a multitude
of green tufts, and finally we have no choice but to search
until we're exhausted and have to abandon the search.
Too bad, it is not today that the treasure will be ours
but at least the pleasure of walking alone or with your
family with the aim of finding a treasure remains a great
way to spend an excellent day of discovery... Finally, a
nice ice cream in Huelgoat village centre quickly made us
forget that we could have been rich...
