Event de la forêt enchantée :
Le Champignon
|
|
English
Huelgoat is popular with tourists and holidaymakers due to its
impressive natural setting among the vestiges of the ancient forest
that once covered inland Brittany. Once part of royal and ducal
lands, the forest is now overseen by the French forestry
commission, the National Forests Office. It has an area of 10
square kilometres. A large replanting scheme has repaired much of
the damage sustained by the forest in storms on the 15-16 October
1987, when 3.1 square kilometres of trees were levelled or damaged.
The village lies on a lake created between the 16th and 18th
centuries to supply water to local silver-lead mines by means of a
3 km (1.9 mi) leat or canal. A number of geological and prehistoric
curiosities can be found by following trails in and around the
village and forest.
The geological explanation of Huelgoat:
these rocks come from the depths of the ground. Born with ten km of
depth in the form of liquid masses in fusion, these masses will go
up very slowly towards surface, will cool and be solidified with a
few kilometers of the level of the ground. Then erosion, i.e. the
rainwater and the streaming, freezing, heat will contribute to
release, clear all the ground surmounting these rocks; it is thus
released which one finds them today.
Among these are: « Le Champignon”, or The Mushroom, is
a large rock balanced on a smaller one to give the eponymous
appearance. To log this EarthCache you must photograph yourself or
your GPS with the Mushroom, then you must estimate the approximate
height of the rock“Le Champignon”. Email your answer
and your photo to me via the profile. When you receive a
confirmatory reply you may log the cache and include your
photograph with the log.

Les rochers de
Huelgoat
Ces rochers viennent des
profondeurs de la terre. Nées à un dizaine de km de
profondeur sous forme de masses liquides en fusion, ces masses vont
remonter très lentement vers la surface, vont se refroidir
et se solidifier à quelques kilomètres sous le niveau
du sol. Puis l'érosion, c’est-à-dire les eaux
de pluie , le ruissellement, le gel et la chaleur vont contribuer
à dégager, à déblayer tout le terrain
surmontant ces roches ; c'est ainsi dégagées
qu'on les retrouve aujourd'hui.
Pour vaider
votre log, il vous faudra m'amener par mail, via mon profil une
photo de vous, ou de votre gps, devant le champigon, en
répondant à la question suivante: "quelle est la
hauteur approximative de ce rocher?"

Lors de ma promenade, je suis tombé sur des sangliers et sur des champignons... Mon ancêtre disait que seuls les premiers se mangeaient... Il avait encore raison... Ils sont fous ces bretons...TNLN
