Today’s destination is not far from Daejeon. The hiking hour was not too long. Therefore, we left the South Gate Parking Lot at 7 am.

Eric, my Chinese friend, joined me after several months of absence. So, I was happy about it, too. The number of applicants was 35 including us.

We arrived at the starting point; Sadamri Village at 9:10 am. There was a nice temple named “Gongrimsa.” We took a group picture in front of the mountain gate of the temple.

We had a brief sightseeing at the temple, then began hiking.

There was a huge tree of Zelkova serrata (keyaki or Japanese zelkova; Japanese: 欅 (ケヤキ) keyaki; Chinese: 榉树 ju shu; Korean: 느티나무 neutinamu) at the temple. It is a protected tree, aged 990 years old.

The height was 12 meters, and the girth of over 8 meters, the gigantic tree.

It is usually difficult for me to climb up to the ridge, but I felt much easier because Eric was with me. It took me 50 minutes to come to the ridge.

When we came to the first guidepost at the point of three trails, it was 10:06, and we had a short break as “Suzuki Time” there.

I offered a box of grapes and a box of small tomatoes there. We ate them all at once. Then there was a local old man who looked like a mountain hermit. He offered to guide us to both Nagyongsan and Domyongsan.

We decided to follow him. From the point of the three trails, we walked along the ridge for 20 minutes, then we came to the top of Nagyongsan.

After taking group pictures, we followed this mysterious “hermit” and headed for Domyongsan.

[On a ridge, 稜線にて、능선에서]

We came to the rocky part of the mountain. Some of us went on the rocks, but I did not follow them. I must be careful, I thought.

After passing the first rocky place, it was at 11:30. It was a bit early to have lunch, but we did have lunch there. I ate rice-balls which I made this morning. Eric ate bread as usual. (He looked Westernized than those my old Chinese friends who made their own lunch boxes.)

[A bit early lunch, 少し早い昼食、조금 이른 점심]

We offered our food for this mysterious guide, but he did not eat much. He just patiently waited for us. When we finished our lunch, he resumed guiding us to Domyongsan.

He just ignored the formal guidepost directions, but we all believed him and followed him. (Later, we found that he was a local farmer, and purely volunteered to guide us.)

He led us to the rocky cliff. We followed him and climbed up to the cliff.

[We just followed him, 彼の後について岩を登った、그의 뒤를 따라 바위를 올랐다]

He encouraged us by saying “there is KTX waiting for us.” When wen came up to the cliff, we could have a better view of the mountain. We could see a series of rocks like trains (what he called KTX).

There was a plate saying “Observation Deck.” He told us that it was like an observation deck to see soldiers being trained to climb the cliffs.

After the observation deck, we continued to climb the rocky part of the mountain. Then suddenly, we came to the top of Domyongsan.

There was a stone plate curved as “Domyongsan” on the top of the mountain.

We began descending the mountain via some cliffs on which the statutes of Buddha were carved (called “Ma-ae-bul.”) They were carved early period of “Goryeo” (10th century.) The mysterious guide said good-bye to us here.

It took us for about one hour to go down to the valley. There was a nice bridge over the river.

It was the beginning of Hwayang Guguk Valley. “Guguk” means “nine curves” so it might be nine curves of the river in the valley.

Some members went into the river and enjoyed bathing in the river. Eric and I did not enter into the river, but just watched them bathing, while having canned fruits.

[With Eric at the valley, 渓谷にてエリックと、계곡에서 에릭과 함께]

We arrived at the parking lot at 2:10 pm. Those who enjoyed bathing, also came to join us one by one. We had wrap-up party at the parking lot.

[We arrived at the parking lot, 駐車場に到着した。우리는 주차장에 도착했다.]

We had water melon, and tofu and kimchi, and makgeolli. Korean kimchi is too spicy for Eric, so he ate tofu without kimchi. For me, kimchi is absolutely necessary to eat tofu. Both of us enjoyed eating watermelon though.

[Wrap-up Party at the parking lot, 駐車場で打ち上げパーティ、주차장에서 뒤풀이 파티]

We wrapped up the party at 3 pm and came back to the Expo South Gate at 5 pm.

I like this kind of “easy hiking” and I especially enjoyed being company with Eric.

It was my 29th hike for this year and my 319 regular AhToSan hike as a total.

分類：忠北(충북)・槐山(괴산)の落影山(낙영산)と道明山(도명산)及び華陽九曲(화양구곡)

登山月日：2013年6月22日(土)曇り

登山地：忠北・槐山の「落影山」と「道明山」及び華陽九曲(화양구곡)

登山コース：サダム里(사담리) – 公林寺(공림사) – 落影山(낙영산681m) –道明山(도명산643m) - 磨崖佛(마애불) -鶴巢臺(학소대) - 華陽九曲(화양구곡) 駐車場(4時間)

同行者：アトサン会員34人(外国人は中国人の若者エリックと日本人の私)

[A map for the hiking, 山行用の地図、산행용　지도]

今回は近場の上、コースも8キロと短いため、朝7時出発の夕方5時帰りと私にとっては無理のない適切なハイクだった。

ひさしぶりにエリックも参加し、終始孤独感は味合わなかった。参加者は35人とこれもまた最適人数だ。

目的地には9時10分過ぎに到着。「落影山公林寺」と書かれた山門の前で集合写真を撮ってから出発。

[George in front of the mountain gate, 公林寺の山門の前で、공림사의 산문 앞에서]

登山口はこの寺のすぐ左側だが、寺の見物をしてから山に入った。

[Inside of Gongrimsa, 公林寺境内、공림사 경내]

寺には30年前に保護樹に指定された樹齢990年のヌティナム(느티나무：ケヤキがそびえていた。

[In front of the 990 year-old tree, 樹齢990年の欅の木の前で、수령 990 년의 느티나무 앞에서]

これは高さ12m、木の周りが8mという立派なものだった。

尾根に出るまでの50分はエリックと一緒だったせいか、いつものようなつらさはない。

落影山へ向かう三叉路がちょうど尾根になっていて、里程標に認証写真では10:06と、最初の休憩にはちょうどよい時間だ。

ここで、スズキタイムで、今回はブドウとテッチュトマトはすぐになくなった。

当初は落影山山頂までいったらこの三叉路へもどって道明山へ行くはずだったが、仙人のような地元のおじいさんが道案内を買ってでて、われわれはみな彼について行くことにした。

みごとな松の木の多い尾根を20分ほど進むとすぐに落影山山頂に出た。

[A group picture on the top of Nagyongsan, 落影山山頂にて集合写真、낙영산 정상에서 단체 사진]

ここのささやかな石標で認証写真及び集合写真を撮ってから、この地元の仙人の道案内で道明山へ向かった。

[Eric on a ridge, 稜線にて、능선에서]

最初の岩場はさほど困難なものではなく、岩に登ってはしゃぐ会員が多かった。

[On a ridge, 稜線にて、능선에서]

最初の岩場を過ぎて尾根歩きの景観も楽しみながら、11時半ごろ、今回は打ち上げが2時ごろと早いのだからという理由で、早めの昼食にした。

[A bit early lunch, 少し早い昼食、조금 이른 점심]

参加者35名のうち、先に進んだピアノマン、サンチギ、新春の3人以外はほとんどそろって昼食を食べた。

私は朝にぎった握り飯で、おかずは他の会員のものをもらった。これは最近のパターンである。ただ、これまでは日本製ビールを提供していたが、今回はなし。ライトビールの小缶を2個凍らして持参したが、保冷バッグが効率的すぎるのか解凍しない。

ある会員が提供したブルーベリーはたいへん人気があった。ブルーベリーは韓国では高価なので、おそらく１ボックス１万ウォンは下らないだろう。

[A box of blueberries, ブルーベリー、블루 베리]

地元の仙人風の「現地ガイド」は我々の勧めにもあまり食べることもしないが、我々の食事の終わるのを待って、さらに案内を続けてくれた。

地図上のルートあるいは里程標の矢印を無視してかなりきつい岩場へ案内されたが、我々はみな彼を信じてついて行った。

[We just followed him, 彼の後について岩を登った、그의 뒤를 따라 바위를 올랐다]

もっとも急な岩場ではこの上に上がればKTXが待っているなどと冗談を言ったが、たしかに岩場を登ると列車のように見える細長い岩が見えた。

[The KTX Rocks (in the middle)、KTX列車岩、KTX 열차 바위]

また、軍隊の部隊が使う「観覧台」という場所があったが、これは軍隊のおえらいさんたちが兵士の岩登りの訓練の様子をみるための観覧席だという。

[A sign of "The Observation Deck"、『観覧台』、"관람대"]

彼について岩山を登ると突然道明山山頂に出た。ここで先に進んでいた三人組に会った。

[At the top of Domyongsan, 道明山山頂にて、도명산 정상에서]

聞けば彼らは昼を食べないで進んできたと言う。我々はこの現地ガイドのおかげで大変効率的に道明山の山頂に着いたことになる。時刻は12:17だった。

[Near the top of Domyongsan, 道明山頂上付近にて、도명산 정상 부근에서]

道明山頂上からは下山に入るが、山頂付近の３つの磨崖石仏(마애석불)は高麗初期の作品でわずかに色彩が残っている。

[“Ma-ae-bul" or "Buddha image carved on a cliff" 磨崖佛、마애불]

[On the way down, 下山路にて、하산 길에서]

石仏を観た後、下山路でキリンソウをみかけた。この花は韓国語でも「キリン草기린초」というが漢字は「麒麟草」である。ウィキペディアによると、日本語の場合、「黄輪草」とも言うらしい。

[Phedimus aizoon var. floribundus、キリンソウ(麒麟草/黄輪草), 기린초]

下山路は短く、約１時間で登山路は終わり、下り切ったところになかなかかっこよい橋があった。

[A nice bridge over the river, 渓谷に架かる橋、계곡 위에 다리]

この橋を渡ると、広い渓谷にそった華陽九曲(화양구곡)となる。道路脇には上りの登山路でも見かけた「オカトラノオ」に花蜂がとまっていた。

[At "Hwayang-Guguk" Valley、華陽九曲渓谷にて、화양구곡　계곡에서]

多くのアトサン会員は河原に入り、段差のあるダムで水浴びを楽しんだ。エリックと私は彼らを観ながら、橋のたもとで私が持参したフルーツの缶詰を楽しんだ。

[AhTo members in the river, 渓谷に入るアトサンたち、아토산 회원들이 계곡에서 물놀이하고있다.]

駐車場に着いたのは２時10分ごろで、水浴びの連中も三々五々 合流して駐車場で打ち上げを行った。

[Wrap-up Party at the parking lot, 駐車場で打ち上げパーティ、주차장에서 뒤풀이 파티]

今回のメニューはスイカと豆腐とキムチとマッコリ及び焼酎で、エリックはからいキムチが食べられず、豆腐をそのまま食べていたがそれでは味がなさすぎる。

それでもスイカをたっぷり味わった。打ち上げパーティは３時に切り上げ、南門には５時に戻った。

大田も曇天のままで陽射しはなく、炎天ではない

比較的快適な登山だった。今回は今年２９回目で、アトサン定期登山は319回目である。
