[FR] Trois roc’h des Monts d’Arrée se bataillent le titre de plus haut sommet de Bretagne, tous situés à quelques kilomètres l’un de l’autre : Roc’h Trevezel (384,89m) ; Tuchen Kador (384,91m) et Roc’h Ruz (385,01m).
Suite à des mesures réalisées en 2005 par les géomètres du Centre des Finances Publiques de Morlaix, c’est finalement le Roc’h Ruz qui l’emporte actuellement, sachant que la marge d’erreur des instruments de mesure est de 10cm (et que le grès s’érode).

De là le regard embrasse les cretes, les vastes landes, les tourbières du Yeun (porte d’entrée de l’enfer), le lac de Brennilis. Plus loin vers le Sud, la vallée de l’Aulne et les Montagnes Noires. Plus loin vers le Nord, le pays de Morlaix et la Manche

Acces par le PR depuis le col de Tredudon ou depuis l’émetteur du roc’h Tredudon ; puis prendre à la perpendiculaire de la barre en N 48 24.890, W 3 52.715

[EN] Three roc'h in the Monts d'Arrée are competing for the title of highest peak in Brittany, all located within a few kilometres of each other: Roc'h Trevezel (384.89m); Tuchen Kador (384.91m) and Roc'h Ruz (385.01m).
Following measurements carried out in 2005 by surveyors from the Morlaix Public Finance Centre, it is finally the Roc'h Ruz that prevails at present, knowing that the margin of error of the measuring instruments is 10cm (and that the sandstone erodes).

From there, the view embraces the cretes, the vast heaths, the Yeun peat bogs (gateway to hell), the lake of Brennilis. Further south, the Aulne valley and the Montagnes Noires. Further north, the country of Morlaix and the Manche.

Access by the PR from the Tredudon gap or from the roc'h Tredudon transmitter; then take the perpendicular to the mountain cretes at N 48 24.890, W 3 52.715
