Huelgoat, a place located in the region of Brittany, France. It is known as "forest closed", filled with natural landscape, and it is the remains of the ancient and mythical forest of Broceliande. The ancient forest covers about 1000 hectares. One of the most impressive boulders is Trembling Rock (La Roche Tremblante). This huge granite stone weighs 137 tonnes and is 7 metres in length. It is pivoted so it can be moved if you know where to push. These giant lumps of granite are also known as Logan stones. This makes the area very popular for tourism and makes this place even more special.

The Trembling Rock of Huelgoat Forest, France
A trembling rock pivots on a point of support, which keeps it stable and static but also allows anyone, regardless of their strength, to know where to push to make the rock stagger slightly up and down, as if it were on a rocker. This type of rock, of which there are other examples in the area, was much appreciated by the Druids, who considered it a symbol of the balance of the Universe.
