130517 Guryongsan, Daejeon (Hike on Buddha’s Birthday)大田広域市西区「九龍山(구룡산373m)」(灌仏会ハイキング)

Hiking Date: May 17 (Fri) 2013, Fine

Destination (mountain):　GuRyongSan, Daejeon

Hiking course: Parking Lot – HyonAmSa Temple – GuRyongSan (A round trip)

Partner: George Furst, Eric, Ayla

Buddha’s birthday is being celebrated by Buddhests all over the world. But the date differs from country to country.

In Japan, it is called “KanButsue” and celebrated on April 8 of Solar Calendar and in Korea, it is April 8 of Lunar Calendar. It was May 17 this year.

In Korea, the birthdays of Jesus and Buddha are national holidays. So, I proposed Taejeonhikers to go hiking that day.

George Furst agreed to offer the rides and besides me, Eric and Ayla agreed to join us.

We met at 10 am at KAIST and George drove us to Lake Daecheong. Ayla sat next to George and she helped him to find the temple called “HyonAmSa.”

She did a good job and we found a parking space just next to the entrance of the trail to Mt. Guryong. (GuRyongSan).

It was only 500 meters from the parking lot to the temple. But it was very steep stairs and trail.

HyonAmSa Temple was very crowded because of the special event. Many Buddhists came to the temple. People who could not get into the temple, were sitting outside on the plastic sheets on the earth.

[We soon arrived at the tempke, われわれは、すぐに寺に着いた。우리는 곧 현암사에 도착했다.]

They were chanting Buddhist sutra together with priests inside of the building.

[There were many people at the temple, 多くの人が寺を訪れていた。많은 사람들이 참배하고 있었다.]

There were several volunteer workers at the temple kitchen that day. They cook a lot of “Bibingpap”and served them to the visitors.

[Volunteers were helping to supply "Bibingpap", 奉仕者たちがビビンパを供給している、봉사자들이 비빔밥을 공급하고있다]

We saw such people eating “bibingpap” along the trail.

Then we went to a tall “tap”or pagoda made of concrete next to the temple. Some people were walking around the “tap” and some were bowing to it.

[Leaving the temple to the tap, 縣岩寺から塔へ向かう。현암사부터 탑으로 ​​향한다.]

It was an observatory space and we could see nice scenery of Daecheong Dam very well.

[We headed for the ridge, 塔から稜線へ向かう、오층탑부터 능선으로 향했다.]

Then again a bit steep slop, we walked for about half an hour. We came to the ridge.

We ate our lunch at one of several “cairns”made of stones. Then we headed for the top of the mountain.

[There were several "cairns" on the ridge,稜線のケルン、능선 케른]

[We ate lunch in front of a Cairn, ケルンの前で昼食、케른 앞에서 점심]

The ridge walk was only for 30 minutes, and then we arrived at the top of the mountain.

There were three wooden jangseungs or Korean traditional totem poles and a black dragon and a small stone on which the name of the mountain was written.

There was a small hole on the top part of a jangseung, and a small bird flew to the hole having a worm in her beaks.

I found some butterflies flying around on the top of the mountain.

After having a short rest on the top of the mountain, we went down from the mountain to the parking lot.

It took us for 2 hours to climb and only one hour to go down.

It was only 3 hour-hike, but it was really appropriate for me, because I was going to participate “Over-30 kilometers Big Hike on Mt. Jiri”next day.

I regarded it as a light warming-up hike for the big hike of Mt. Jiri next day.

However it was my 23rd hike for the year of 2013.

分類：登山、韓国、春山、「お釈迦様が来られた日」

登山月日：2013年5月17日(金)、晴れ

登山地：大田広域市、西区の九龍山(구룡산)

登山コース：縣岩寺(현암사)の下の駐車場～縣岩寺～九龍山頂上(往復)多分往復5km3時間

同行者：ジョージ・ファースト、アエラ、エリック

日本では釈迦の誕生を祝う灌仏会は太陽暦の4月8日に行われるが、韓国では中国歴(陰暦)の4月8日で、今年は5月17日に「お釈迦様が来られた日」として祝われた。

韓国ではイエスの誕生を祝うクリスマスも釈迦の誕生を祝う灌仏会もともに公休日である。そこでテジョンハイカースも登山を企画した。

場所は大田市内、西区の大清湖のほとりの九龍山である。

10時にKAIST正門横の駐車場に集合したのは車の所有者兼運転手であるジョージ・ファーストと、韓国人アエラと中国人エリックである。

アエラが助手席に座り、ナビを担当。一度も迷うことなく大清湖のほとりの縣岩寺の下の駐車場に着いた。

縣岩寺には釈迦誕生日の法事のため多くの参拝者が車で来ていて、警官数人が交通整理をするほどだった。

寺のすぐ下や、道を挟んだダム側にも駐車場があるが、当然いっぱいで、道路に沿って車がずらっと駐車している。

駐車場にスペースがないのを確認したジョージはUターンして寺の下へ向かったがちょうど登山路の真下の駐車場に駐車スペースがあり、そこに駐車した。

[We parked near the entrance of the trail, 登山路入口近くに駐車、등산로 입구 근처에 주차했다.]

地元のハイカーに聞くとこの駐車場の裏のコンクリートの階段を登れば直、登山路と言うことで、ラッキー！

[George, picking up his bag from his trunk, トランクからリュックを出すジョージ、조지가 트렁크에서 배낭을 내놓고있다.]

しかし、この坂は急坂で、寺までの約500mほどの急坂を登るのはきつかった。

[Silverberry or oleaster,登山路のグミの実、등산로 보리수 나무의 열매]

寺は来訪者でごったがえしていたが、それでも僧侶の読経にあわせて善男善女たちが真剣に合掌し、礼拝している。

[There were many people at the temple, 多くの人が寺を訪れていた。많은 사람들이 참배하고 있었다.]

[DaeCheong Dam from the temple, 寺から見た大清ダム、현암사에서 본 대청댐]

本堂に上がれない人々のために外にはゴザが敷かれ、その上にも多くの参拝者たちが礼拝していた。

また、大雄殿の下は台所のようになっていて、参拝者は次々とビビンパをごちそうになっていた。寺の裏の登山路沿いにも人々が座って昼食中だった。

[Volunteers were helping to supply "Bibingpap", 奉仕者たちがビビンパを供給している、봉사자들이 비빔밥을 공급하고있다]

寺の裏道を少し進むと大きなコンクリートの塔があり、ここはダムが良く見えて絶好の展望台になっていた。

[The cement pagoda, コンクリート製の五重塔、콘크리트의 오층탑]

この塔のまわりをぐるぐる回る礼拝方式もあるようで、数人が実行していた。

[Short break on the way, 途中で一休み、도중에 휴식]

この塔から尾根までまたやや急坂が続き、尾根の上には石を積み上げた塔がいくつもあった。

[Cairn (man-made pile of stones) on the ridge, 稜線のケルン、능선 케른]

最初の一番大きい塔の前で昼食にして30分ほど休憩し、その後、尾根伝いに30分ほど進むと九龍山の山頂に出た。

[On the top of Mt. GyuRyong, Eric next to the dragon-sculpture, 九龍山山頂にて、구룡산 정상에서]

山頂には木造のチャンスン3柱と黒く塗った木製の龍が置いてあった。またささやかだが石の標識も三角点のすぐ隣にあった。

[A Jangseung and Daecheong Dam, チャンスンと大清ダム、장승과 대청댐]

[Eric and Jangseung, エリックとチャンスン、에릭과 장승]

このうち、いちばん左のチャンスンの頂付近に小さな穴があり、そこへ小鳥が虫をくわえてやってきた。その瞬間をエリックが写真に撮った。わたしは立派なホランナビ1匹の写真を獲った。

下山は小一時間ほどで、11時に出発して午後2時には終わると言う理想的な軽いハイキングとなった。

[George and Eric on their down trail, 下山路のジョージとエリック、조지와 아 에릭이 하산하고있다.]

[Aquilegia or Columbine at the temple, オダマキ(苧環)、매발톱꽃]

KAISTに到着するとジョージがガソリン代として3000ウォンずつ徴収した。

これは今年23回目の登山であり、翌日智異山縦走30キロ15時間のハイキングのウォーミングアップとしてちょうどよかった。
