Cap de la Chèvre

The Cap de la Chèvre ( Breton: Beg Penn ar Roz; German: Cape of goat / Ziegenkap ) is a headland at the southern end of the Crozon peninsula in the Finistère department in Brittany. The cape is less spectacular than Pointe de Penhir or Pointe de Dinan, but offers a good view of these two and the Baie de Douarnenez away on Cap Sizun with the Pointe du Van.

Large heaths are ideal for hiking along the scenic cliffs. Stone walls secure loose rocks and boulders. Due to the rapidly changing water depths and substrates (rock / sand ) has the impressive play of colors in the water. The proximity of the Gulf Stream leaves in sheltered bays an almost Mediterranean flora arise.

At the foot of the peninsula, at the head of the cap is located, has a seaside resort Parthenay, the caves of Parthenay the stone enclosure Ty -ar- C'huré and the main town of Crozon. Five kilometers south of Crozon is, before the eponymous hamlet, the dolmen of Rostudel.

During the Second World War, the German Navy had installed an artillery battery with four 15 - inch guns here, the remains of which can still be seen today.
