Climbing the Menez Lokorn is best via this northern side, through the fabulously beautiful medieval town of Locronan. Not for nothing that it is classed as one of 'des plus belles villes de France'. The cobbles in the centre make the climb even more interesting, but once past the centre the steepest part is over, the remaining kilometres to the summit are smooth. The little chapel at the top looks lost, which adds to its mysterious character. At the viewpoint, a hundred metres from the actual summit, don't forget to enjoy the view over the Celtic Sea in Dournenez Bay.
De beklimming van de Menez Lokorn is het mooist via deze noordelijke kant, door het fabelachtig mooie middeleeuwse stadje Locronan. Niet voor niets dat het geklasseerd wordt als een van ‘des plus belles villes de France’. De kasseien in het centrum maken de klim nog interessanter, maar eens voorbij het centrum zit het steilste stuk erop, de resterende kilometers naar de top gaan vlot. Het kapelletje boven ligt er verloren bij, wat bijdraagt aan het mysterieuze karakter. Vergeet bij het uitkijkpunt, op honderd meter van de feitelijke top, niet te genieten van het uitzicht over de Keltische Zee in de baai van Douarnenez.
This Breton climb offers a picturesque route through the heart of one of the most beautiful villages in Finistère. With some sections displaying a very severe gradient of over 12％ steepness, this climb will test your legs to the limit. Just before you start the final part of the climb, you can also enjoy a magnificent view of the Menez Hom and the bay of Douarnenez. However, be careful on the descent, as the steepest and shadiest section has a few potholes.
Cette montée bretonne offre un parcours pittoresque au cœur d'un des plus beaux villages du Finistère. Avec certaines portions affichant un gradient très sévère de plus de 12％ de pente, cette ascension mettra vos jambes à rude épreuve. Juste avant d'entamer la dernière partie de l'ascension, vous pourrez également profiter d'une vue magnifique sur le Menez Hom et la baie de Douarnenez. Cependant, soyez prudent lors de la descente, car la section la plus raide et ombragée présente quelques nids de poule.
