May 29 (Sat), 2010, Fine

AhToSan #268th Regular Hiking. It was my 202nd hiking with AhToSan as the total number, and it was my 27th hike this year.

[At the entrance of the trail、登山口にて、등산로 입구에서]

Destination was “YongA-ChangSeong” (which means “Dragong’s Fang-Like Long Castle”)

Hiking course: Bihongjae – MunDeokBong – GoJeongBong – SakKatBong – GoRiBong – BangChonRi (about 18 kirometers, 8 hour-hike)

We left the South Gate Parking Lot at 7 am as usual. 46 members including Bernardo, the Mexican and myself. There was no vacancy in the chartered bus.

It was cloudy in Daejeon, but as we forwarded toward south, it became cleared up. There was no wind, and it was rather hot for hiking.

We arrived at Bihongjae at around 10 am. The entrance of the trail was beside the paved road. The altitude of the trail was already high, so it was an easy climb to the ridge.



There was a community of wild iris at the entrance of the trail. They were beautiful.

Soon we came to the remains of fortress named “PiHongSanSeong” during “Three Kingdom Era (4th to 7th centuries). The remaining stonewalls are over 1,000 years old.

[The stone wall called "BiHongSanSeong"、三国時代の古城「飛鴻山城」の遺跡、산국시대의 "비홍산성"　유적]

We had a short break called “Suzuki Time.” It is my practice to offer fruits such as grapes and grape tomatoes at every hike. This time I also brought “Totori muk” which is “acorn starch” pecurier to Korea. Some members brought “chestnut makkori” which is a kind of traditional Korean wine.

["Suzuki Time" to offer fruits, 「スズキタイム」休憩時間、"스즈끼 타임"휴게 시간]

We arrived at MunDeokBong at 11:45. A member called Max25 has a nice camera. His taking photograph technicque is also excellent. He took many pictures of members including mine. We can download his pictures from AhToSan website.

Between MunDeokBong and GoJeongBong, we had lunch break. There were a few hikers besides us, so we occupied the whole trail for lunch. Korean hikers share their food, and I enjoy their food as well as my own lunch box.

[Lunch with a lot of vegitable, 野菜の多い昼食、야채가 많은 점심]

After having lunch, we soon came to GoJeongBong. Max 25 also took a lot of pictures of the members. Then we continued our walks on the ridges.

I realized that we (about 10 hikers inclusing the leader of this hike, “Kkachi”) took the wrong path when I saw other hikers on the other ridge. So we walked extra-long distance.

[Wild azalea on the rock, 岩場に咲く山つつじ、암석 지대에 피는 산철쭉]

When we arrived at the last peak called “GoRiBong” at 4 pm. It took another hour to arrive the final destination called BangChonRi villege.

[The last peak, GoRiBong,最後の峰、「コリ峰」마지막 봉우리, "고리봉" ]

On the way down to the villege, there were a lot of wild fruits called BokBunJa or Korean black rasberry. We enjoyed picking them and eating them. Korean people furment this fruit into wine called BokBunJaJu. It is a kind of sweet wine.

The villege seems a typical Korean villege. I saw two black goat eating grasses along the river. There was a big tree in the villege.

Our bus is the only one at the villege parking lot. We had “tippuri” party there as usual. The menu was; Totori-muk and makkori wine. We enjoyed the party until 6:30. It was over 9 pm when we returned to the South Gate Parking Lot.

2010年5月29日(土)快晴

アトサン第268次定期山行、私は202回目、今年27回目の登山。

目的地：全羅南道、南原の龍牙長城(용아장성)

コース：飛鴻峠(ピホンジェ비홍재)～文徳峰(문덕봉)～コジョン峰(고정봉)～笠峰(삿갓봉)～コリ峰(고리봉)～芳村里(방촌리)[約18Km、8時間]

南門出発は7時で参加人数は46人、バスは満席。外国人はメキシコ人のベルナルドと私だけ。

大田は曇っていたが、高速道路を南に下るにつれ晴天が広がり、結局、ティップリの時までずっと快晴で風もなく、暑いハイキングだった。

出発地点は前回同様、道路わきで、かなり標高が高いところなので、稜線に出るのにあまり苦労はしなかった。

林に入るとすぐに野生のアヤメの群落があって、きれいなブルーの花が満開だった。

松林の中を15分ほど進むと三国時代の古城「飛鴻山城」の遺跡があった。苔むした石垣だけ残っている。
[The explanation of BiHongSanSeong, 飛鴻山城の説明、비홍산성 설명]

30分ほど行ったところでスズキタイム。今回も公州のクリマッコリを持参したメンバーがいて、実にうまかった。また、いつものブドウとパングルトマトのほか、トトリムックも出し、すべて1回で売り切れた。

文徳峰には11:45に到着。Max25に団体写真や個人写真を撮ってもらった。

[At MunDeokBong, 文徳峰にて、문덕봉에서]

文徳峰を過ぎてコジョン峰へ行く途中で登山路を占有して昼食をとった。前回同様、あまり人に知られていないコースらしく、他のハイカーはほとんどいない。KS夫人のパジョンのおかずともち米のライスがうまくてだいぶごちそうになった。また、みなさん、野菜をダイナミックに食べる。

[Lunch with a lot of vegitable, 野菜の多い昼食、야채가 많은 점심]

食後、すぐにコジョン峯を通過したが、ここでもMaxに写真を撮ってもらった。

コジョン峯の後も延々と続く尾根歩き。途中でベルナルドとはぐれた。また、カッチを含む約10人が(当然私も)笠峰の手前で道をまちがえ、途中で引き返した。

最後の峰のコリ峰に着いたのは午後4時。ここからの下りもまた長かった。

[The last peak, GoRiBong,最後の峰、「コリ峰」마지막 봉우리, "고리봉" ]

渓谷にでるとチョロンペムらがアルタンをしていた。それを横目に先へ進むと広い渓谷に出た。ここでようやくベルナルドに追いついた。

[Bernardo relaxes by the river, 渓谷でリラックスするベルナルド、벨날도가 계곡에서 릴랙스하고 있다]

渓谷から出て、村への近道にキイチゴのような実がたくさんなっていた。この実は日本でみるキイチゴとちがい、実に甘い。皆で食べてもとりきれないほどあった。後であれは覆盆子(ポクブンジャ)の実だと知らされた。

[I tasted Korean black rasberry, they tasted good!覆盆子の実を味見した。うまい！복분자 맛이 있다!]

最後は芳村里(방촌리)という村に出た。村には黒い山羊がいたり、大きな木が茂っていたりして典型的な閑村といった風情。

[A big tree in the villege, 村の中の大木、마을의 큰 나무]

ティップリはトトリムックのあえものとマッコリでみな良く食べ、良く飲んだ。ティップリは6時半までつづき、南門に戻ったのは9時過ぎだった。

100522 HwangJeongSan (1,077m), DanYang 丹陽・黄庭山

May 22 (Sat) 2010, Cloudy, rain in the evening. It was 256th hiking of AhToSan. Destination was HwangJeongSan (1,077m) in DanYang. It was my 201st hike with AhToSan, and my 26th hike this year.

They announced the leaving time of the bus as 6 am at first. But after I signed in as the 1st person, the planner of the hike changed his mind and made it 7 am as usual. I did not check the time again. As the result, nobody showed up at 6 am and I had to wait for one hour!

Well, participants were about 30 and I was the only foreigner.

[About 30 members, 約30人が参加、약30명이 참가]


The hiking course was Wuijeom – Big Stone – Suribong (1,019m) - YongAReung – 990 peak – South Peak – HwangJeongSan (1077m) – 850 peak – 810 peak – DaeHeoungSa Temple. 12 km, 6 hour hike.

Wuijeom was just beside the paved road where the bus stopped. The entrance of the trail was not clear. Therefore there were a few hikers beside us.

We took a nice group picture on the paved road. Then we started at 10:15.

When we walked for about 30 minutes in the woods, then we came to the big stone with handrail. I took the handrail, but most of the members climbed up on the slope. It was too hard for me to climb without using the handrail.

[Most of the members climbed the big stone directly. 会員たちは巨大な石盤を登る、회원들은 거대한 돌반을 오른다 ]

When we climbed up this part, we took a rest called “Suzuki Time.” They call it “Suzuki Time” because I offer fruits such as mini-tomatoes and grapes for them. This time, some other members also offered “Chestnut Makkori,” a kind of traditional Korean wine made from chectnuts. It look yellow and taste very good.

[Ups and downs were
a bit difficult for me, 岩場の登り降りは、私にはかなりの負担になった。암석 지대의 상행 내림은, 나에게는 상당한 부담이 되었다.]

We came to the ridge of the mountains. There were beautiful wild azalea called “SanCholChuk.” They looked like Jindalle, but blossoms are larger, and the color is much lighter then Jindalle.

[Korean Mauntain Azalea、チョウセンヤマツツジ、산철쭉]

I also found small floweres called “Tongulle” which looked like “lily of the valley” but flowers are larger than that. Its English name is polygonatum odoratum, commonly known as Angular Solomon's-seal according to Wikipedia.

[Angular Solomon's-seal, アマドコロ(甘老野、둥굴레꽃]

The roats of this plant is used as “tea” in Korea and it is said to have revitalizing effect. This flower is common in Far East Asia, such as China, Korea and Japan. It is called “Amadokoro” in Japanese.

We climbed several peaks this day. We arrived at the first peak called “Suribong (1019m) at 11:15. After taking several pictures, we continued ridge hiking.

We climbed up and down along the ridge, mostly rocky parts. When it was about noon, we stopped on the ridge under the trees. It was our lunch time.

There were few hikers beside us, so we occupied the whole trail and spread luncheon sheet to have lunch.

The leader of this hike, “Chinhan Saram” brought cooking utincils including gass burner and a fraying pan. He cooked “pork belly” called “Samgyoksal” for us. It was really tasty with “Makkori,” the Korean traditional wine.

Some of members brought mountain vegitable, and they mixed them with “Kochujan” or Korean dressing materials. They wrap cooked rice with such vegitable and they taste very good, too.

After the lunch we forwarded the ridge hike with up and down, some parts were really steep.

We arrived at HwangJeongSan (1,077m) at 1:40, and took a group picture there.

[At the top of HwangJeongSan, 黄庭山山頂にて、황전산 정상에서]

Then we continued to climb two more peaks of 850 Peak and 810 Peak.

[On the ridge、稜線にて、능선에서]

When I finished all peaks, and began decending, I used the rope to go down at almost cliff like steep place. The rope hit my camera case which I put on my belt. Unfortunately the camera came out of the case, and it dropped on the rock and clashed apart into the bush.

[The last part of steep cliff down, 最後の崖下り、최후의 벼랑하행]

Some members helped me to pick the parts of the camera. It costed me 45000 won to fix them up again. I finally arrived at the final destination where our bus was waiting at 4:10 pm.

[In front of SaInAm, 舎人岩の前で、사인암　앞에서]

Tippuri menu were cooked kimchi and tofu and “Makkori.” While having the party, it began to rain a little.

[Tippuri Menu, ティップリメニュー、뒷풀이 메뉴]

On the way back to Daejeon, we stopped at “Sa-In-Am” Rock which is one of the best eight sceens of DanYang.

It was 8:30 p.m. when we returned to the Expo South Gate, and I came to my apartment at 9 p.m. It was another a good hike for me.

5月22日(土)曇りのち雨。アトサン定期登山第256次「丹陽・黄庭山(タニャン단양・ファンジョンサン황정산(1,077m)」、私は201回目の登山で、今年すでに26回目。

出発は当初6時と発表されたが、すぐ7時に変えられたらしく、6時に南門駐車場へ行っても誰もいない。総務に電話すると出発は7時とのこと。私は201回目にして初めて出発時間を間違えて1時間待たされることになった。

参加者は約30人で外国人は私だけ。

今回のコースは「ウィチョム윗점」-岩盤登山-守理峰(スリボン수리봉1019m)-ヨンアルン용아릉-990峰-南峰-黄庭山(959m)-850峰-810峰-大興寺（テフンサ대흥사）の12キロ、6時間予定だった。

「ウィチョム」はバスが走行可能な舗装道路の終点で、道路わきのめだたない細道が登山路だった。

広い舗装道路を行き交う車は皆無。道路の真ん中で丹陽の山並みをバックに記念撮影をして10時15分に出発。

このコースはあまり人に知られていないせいか、他の登山者の姿を見ることはほとんどなかった。

30分ほど林の中を進むと大きな岩盤に出た。韓国語では「スレップ슬랩」と呼び、石盤という意味で、傾斜のある岩場だから素手の登山はスリリングだ。

岩盤の端にはワイヤーの手すりがあり、私はこれにつかまって登ったが、大部分のアトサン会員は直登した。

岩盤を登りきったところで、会員たちが「スズキタイム」と呼ぶ休憩。「スズキタイム」のいわれは、この休憩に私が持参したミニトマトとブドウを出すからだ。今回は公州の特産物「パムマッコリ」もふるまわれ、おいしく味わった。ちなみにパムとはクリのことで、原料は栗の実らしく、色は黄色だ。これは美味。

林や稜線には終始、やわらかな淡いピンクのサンチョルチュク(山ツツジ)が咲き、何度もその花の写真を飽きずに撮った。

[Korean Mauntain Azalea、チョウセンヤマツツジ、산철쭉]

[Korean Mauntain Azalea、チョウセンヤマツツジ、산철쭉]

また足元を見ると小型の鈴蘭の花を長く伸ばしたような「トングルレ둥굴레」(日本名アマドコロ（甘野老）の花が咲いていた。このトングルレは韓国では根を掘り出して乾燥させ、お湯を注いでトングルレ茶として一般に普及している。日本では、滋養強壮に効果がある漢方として用いられるようである。

[Angular Solomon's-seal, アマドコロ(甘老野、둥굴레꽃]


最初のピークの守理峰(スリボン1019m)には11時15分に着いた。ここで記念撮影後、岩場を登ったり降りたりを続け、12時を過ぎたころ、尾根の登山路で比較的広い場所を選んで食事にした。

[At SuRiBong, 守理峰にて、수리봉에서]

他のハイカーはほとんど通らず、我々だけで登山路を占有しての昼食だった。今回の登山の立案者であるチンハンサラムがフライパンで豚の三枚肉料理を作り、みなにふるまった。これは実においしい。同時に出て来たマッコリがまたおいしく、飲みすぎると午後の岩場があぶない。

この時期は山菜が出回る時期で、会員たちは山菜をたっぷり持参してコッチュジャンで和えて、ご飯をくるんで食べる。

昼食後も岩場の多い稜線を進み、黄庭山の山頂には1時40分に着いた。ここでは大勢で記念撮影をして、さらに850峰、810峰という２つの岩山を登ってから、下山にかかった。

[At the top of HwangJeongSan, 黄庭山山頂にて、황전산 정상에서]

ところが最後の810峰の崖のような岩場をロープを使って下る時、ロープが腰に装着したカメラケースに当たり、カメラが飛び出して落ち、岩にぶつかって、カメラ本体、充電池2個、メモリーカードが飛び出してばらばらになってしまった。

幸い、他の会員の協力も会って、すべて回収したが、カメラ本体の液晶スクリーンが壊れてしまい、後で修理に4万6000ウォン(約4300円)かかることとなったのが痛かった。

我々のバスが待つ、大興寺の駐車場には4時10分に着いた。

舗装道路の下の渓流に下り、足を洗った。今回のティップリはからいキムチと豆腐とマッコリだった。

ティップリ中に少し雨がぱらついたが本降りに葉ならず、帰路の途中で丹陽八景の1つと言われる舎人岩(サインアム사인암)を見物した。

舎人岩の見学で1時間ほどかかったため、南門に戻ったのは8時半。雨が降り続いており、ワンルームに戻ったのは9時過ぎになった。

100521 GeumSubong, Sutongol (錦繍山、ストンコル)

May 21, 2010 (Fri)

In Korea, not only Christmas, but also the day when Buddha was born (traditionally, April 8 of Lunar calendar) is a national holiday. So, Taejonhikrs planned another hiking on May 21, after May 5th of Children’s day. I joined this hike as my 25th hike for this year.

Alan planned this hike and about 20 people joined him including 8 Americans, 7 Koreans, 2 Australians and a German and a Japanese pulas 2 kids. Our common language was English as usual.


[About 20 people got together, 約20人が集まった、약20명이 모였다]

We met at KAIST main gate at 10 am, but a taxi which the newcomer, Tim the American, was caught in a traffic jam, and he came 15 minutes past 10.

The destination of our hike is Mt. Geumsusan (531m) in Sutongol. There is a spacious parking lot in Sutongol and it is also a terminal for several bus routes. A lot of Daejeon citizens enjoy hiking there on holidays. Some of Taejeonhikers came directly to the parking lot. At 11 am, all members got together, and we started after taking group pictures.

[On the way to Swegoljae, スェゴルジェへの途中、쇠골제에의 도중에서]

There are several trails available and we took an easy one along the river in Jageun Sutongol. On the way to Swegoljae, I happened to see “Chorongpem” who made 200th hike of AhToSan with me last week. He seemed to enjoy alone hiking on the same mountain.

[Alan explains the course, コースを説明するアラン、를 설명하는 앨런]

I often see aquentances while walking in the mountain in Korea. Anyway, it was a pleasant surprise for both of us.

[On the ridge、錦繍峰稜線にて、금수봉 능선에서]

The trail from Swegoljae to the top of GeumSuBong is rather steep. On the ridge, we would see good view of Mt. GyeRyongSan. It was a clear day, and I could count all peaks of GyeRyongSan from ChonWangbong to JangGunBong.

[Mt. Gyeryong, 鶏龍山の峰々、계룡산 봉우리들]

There is an octagonal gazebo on the top of GeumSuBong. We arrived at the gazebo at 12:30. When we arrived there, there were a foreinger and a Korean lady having lunch there. The foreigner was a New Zea Lander and the lady was a Korean. We all talked in English, exchanging information. We all had lunch here.

[A New Zea Lander, ニュージーランド人、뉴질랜드　사람]

After taking group pictures in front of gazebo, we began decending the mountain to Sutongol valley. Some part of the trail was really steep, but we all came down to the river safely.

[In front of the gazebo,錦繍峰頂上の亭子の前で、금수봉정상의 정자 앞에서 ]

We enjoyed washing our feet with cold water, then we walked along the river and saw Sutong Waterfall, and came back to the parking lot at 4 p.m.

[渓谷で水遊び,계곡에서 물놀이]


[After the hike, ハイキング終了後、산행 완료후]

It was a pleasant hike with fine weather and I enjoyed this hike very much.

2010年5月21日、金曜日、韓国ではクリスマスだけでなく、釈迦生誕日(陰暦4月8日、陽暦では今年は5月21日)も公休日だ。そこで5月5日の子どもの日に続いて今月2回目のTeajonhikersのハイキングに参加した。

計画・呼びかけはアラン博士で、今回も外国人が大勢集まった。(米国8人、韓国7人、オーストラリア2人、日本とドイツ各1人＋子ども2人)。韓国人たちは主にToastmastersの会員たちでみな英語が達者だ。したがってわれわれの公用語は英語。

KAIST正門へ10時集合だが、初めて参加したTimが乗ったタクシーが渋滞につかまり、15分遅れた。

目的地は大田・儒城区内のストンコル(수통골)の錦繍山(クムスサン금수산531m)。ストンコルには大きな駐車場があり、市内からバスも出ているので休日には大勢の市民がハイキングを楽しむ。直接、ストンコルへ来た人々もいて、11時に全員がそろった。

本日は子どももいたので、もっとも軽いコースで、峰は錦繍山だけに登って下りることにした。

登りの道は渓流に沿って登山路がよく整備されたチャグン・ストンコルを進み、ピンゲ山[빈게산]との分岐点であるスェゴルジェ[쇠골재]へ出た。

この途中で、先週私と一緒に200回目の登山を祝ってもらったチョロンペム・アトサン前会長に会った。

このように韓国の山々で知り合いに偶然出会うことはよくあることである。

スェゴルジェから錦繍峰に登る道は意外と急で、登山に慣れていない者には厳しいが、登りきると展望が開け、鶏龍山の峰々がよく見える。

[Mt. Gyeryong, 鶏龍山の峰々、계룡산 봉우리들]

錦繍峰の頂上には、八角亭子があり、ここには12時半ごろ到着した。我々より先に休んでいた男女の内、男性はニュージーランド人で、いっしょにいた韓国人らしい女性も英語を話しており、しばらく歓談した。

八角亭子前で記念撮影後、急坂を下り、錦繍峰三分岐点[금수봉삼거리]を経て、ストンコル(수통골)渓谷に出た。登山の後、渓谷の冷たい水で足を洗うのは気持ちが良い。


[Splash at the river, 渓谷で水遊び、계곡에서 물놀이]

ここからストン滝(수통폭포)を経て出発点に戻った。約4キロで通常なら2時間のコースだが、ゆっくり休みながらのハイキングで、終わったのは4時だった。

100515 Mt. Jiri, ChonWangBong (1915m) 智異山・天王峰

May 15 (Sat), 2010, a bit cloudy, occasionally fine.

This was the 266th regular hiking by AhToSan. The destination was Jirisan, ChonWangBong (1915m), the highest peak in the South Korean peninsula.


[Cutting cake for our 200th hike、200回目の登山を祝して、200번째의 등산을 축하해]

It happened to be the 200th hike for Chorongpem and me. So, we had “congratulation” ceremony on the bus. Chorongpem and I also bought everyone the dinner at the local restaurant after the hike.

[The 200th memorial cake, 200回登山記念ケーキ、200번째 등산 기념 케이크]

I got up at 2:30 am and prepared lunch and for hiking. I left my apartment room at 4:30 and arrived at South Gate parking lot at 4:50. Masashi and Bernardo were already there waiting for me. The bus left there at 5 a.m

There was no vacancy this time. 46 members joined this hike. We arrived at Chungsanri at the foot of the mountain before 8 a.m.

I remembered the time when I climbed the same mountain in March 2004. From Chungsanri to Chonwangbong via Bopgesa Temple, it was exactly the same course. We just returned to Chunsanri 6 years ago, but this time, we continued to walk along the ridge to JeSeokbong (1805m) and walked toward the final destination of BaekMuDong via JangToMok Shelter.

Total walking distance was 16 km, and expected walking hours were 8 hours.

As for this hike, I walked with Masashi, the Japanese astronomer who works at Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI).

Bernardo, who also works at KASI walked with his Australian church friend, Brain all the time.

B&B walkded much faster than us, and took a time of sightseeing at Bopgesa Temple. But they were slower on the way down.

[In front of the mountain gate of BeopGyeSa Temple、法界寺の山門の前で、법계사 산문 앞에서]

When we arrived at Rotary Shelter, we heard a senior couple speaking Japanese. The couple came from Osaka to climb Mt. Jiri. They said when say saw a Korean TV drama “Hur Jun (허준, Chinese title: 醫道, also known as "The Way of Medicine: The Epic Doctor Hur Jun" and very much impressed with the scenes of Mt. Jiri. So, they came all the way from Osaka to Mt. Jiri.

[A senior couple from Osaka、大阪から来たカップル、오사카에서 온 노부부]

The man said he had lived in Daegu, but he pronounced the name of the city in old Japanese way “Daikyu.” So, I thought he would have lived in the city during Japanese colonial days (1910-1945.)

I saw them again on the top of the mountain. So they made the hike completely. How nice it is to go hiking together as a man and his wife.

I have never seen any wild animals except small ones like squirrals or insects. But they say there are wild bears in Mt. Jiri. I saw several warning signs of bear on the mountain.

When we had a short break, and had fruits which I brought for “Suzuki time,” I saw clusters of “dog tooth violet” or “fawn lilies.” When I climbed Japanese mountains, I saw several, there it was a big community of the flowers.

We finally arrived at the top of Mt. ChonWangBong, it was already 12:30. Many members were already there, having lunch. Bernardo opened a bottle of wine to celebrate my 200th hike. The wine tased very goo.

It was really crowded on the top of the mountain. Geumgang took my picture with Masashi. It proves that we were on the highest point of South Korean peninsula.

[At ChonWangBong with Masashi、天王峰にて、천왕봉에서]

After lunch, I began walking with Masashi, Bernardo and Brian. It was the most leaisurous walk for this hike. The ridge from ConWangBong to JeSeokBong was a nice trail. We could see not only good view of mountains, but also beautiful flowers of jindalle, and wild cholchuk (azalea.)

When we arrived at JangTeoMok Shelter, one of the members, GaRyongBong bought cans of fresh drinks for all of us there.

The final fork to our destination there was a bit difficult to identify. Some members went to the wrong trail, but came back to the appropriate path.

Marin Boy was one of those who mistook the wrong way. But he found some beautiful flowers along the trail near the shelter. Bernardo also saw the flowers and took a picture of them. It was “gwaengnun” in Korean which means “cat’s eye.” I found the Japanese name for the flower later. It’s “Nekonome-sou” which also means “cat’s eye.” The name comes from the shape of its fruit.

["Cat's Eye" ネコノメソウの花、괭이눈(괭이는‘고양이 ’의 준말)]

It took much time from the shelter to the final destination of this hike. Masashi and I arrived at Baekmu Restaurant at almost 5 pm. Bernardo and Brian had arrived even later.

All AhToSan members congratulated me and Chorongpem. Many of them came to me for cheers with AhToSan wine named “pine leave wine.” The party ended at 5:50 and we came back to the Expo South Gate parking lot at 8 pm.

アトサン定期登山第266回、目的地：韓国の名山中の名山「智異山・天王峰(1915m)」

私と、チョロンペン前会長が期せずして同時に200回目のアトサン定期登山。これを祝して、バスの中で表彰式があり、また登山後のティップリは現地の食堂で大々的に行った。

[Awarding ceremony, I got 200,000 won coupon! バスの中で表彰式、버스 안에서 표창식]

この日は2時半に起床。飯を炊いて弁当準備。ワンルームは4時20分に出発。南門には50分に到着。すでにベルナルドとマサシは到着していた。

今回は完全に満車で46人が参加。

[46 members all together, 46人で満車、46명으로 만차]

登山出発地の中山里(チュンサンリ)には8時前に到着。ここから天王峰までは6年前と同じコースで、法界寺を経由して4時間の登りだ。

ブライアンはお洒落な鍔広帽子。私も鍔広帽子とサングラスを用意した。ジャンバーを忘れ、山頂では寒い思いをするかと思ったが、幸いにもさほど寒くなく、風もおだやかだった。

前回(2006/3)のコースは中山里～法界寺～天王峰を往復する単純なものだったが、今回のコース:中山里(중산리)-法界寺(법계사)-天王峰(천왕봉)～帝釈峰(제석봉1805)-山荘街待避所(장터목대피소)-白武洞(백무동)(約15.9km)という智異山縦走コースだった。

今回の相棒は天文学者のマサシで我々は常に最後尾の少し前を歩いた。

B&Bコンビは前週の鶏龍山同様、登りは先頭グループといっしょで、法界寺の見学もするほどだったが、下りは我々の次というペースだった。

ちょうど8時に出発して見覚えのあるロータリー避難小屋に10時到着。法界寺は、今回は山門前で写真を撮るだけにして先に進んだ。

ロータリー付近で日本語を話している老カップルを追い越した。彼らは韓流ドラマ『ホジョン』をみて薬草のメッカ智異山にあこがれ、わざわざ大阪から来たと言う。

御主人は「ダイキュウ(大邱)」に3年住んだことがあるというからきっと戦前派あるいは「日帝強占時代」に韓国に住んでいたのかも知れない。

智異山は月の輪熊が生息する唯一の山で、「クマ出現、注意」看板があった。また、スズキタイムでトマトとブドウを出した時、近くの林の中にカタクリの群落を見つけた。カタクリの花はなかなかユニークで美しい。

法界寺を過ぎた11時ごろ、この寺を見学した先頭グループにまた追い越された。ＢＢコンビとは次は天王峰山頂で再会した。

見覚えのある最後のアプローチを過ぎて天王峰に着いたのは12時30分だった。

智異山・山王峰1915mの石標付近はたいへんな混みようで写真撮影が難しい。辛うじてマサシといっしょに金剛氏に撮影してもらった。

石標の下の平らな部分で昼食。ベルナルドが私の200回登山を祝してワインを開けてくれた。

天王峰から帝釈峰を経由してチャントモク退避所へ行く稜線は、景観も美しく、チンダルレの花もきれいで、もっとも気持ちのよいハイキングコースだった。

退避所では佳龍峰がそこにいた全員に清涼飲料水をおごってくれた。

ここから最終ゴールの白武洞へ行く道はトイレの横を通る、わかりにくい部分で、実際、ヨロやパダサナイなど間違えた会員もいたようだ。

トイレを過ぎた道端に変わった黄色い花が多数咲いていた。後で調べると「クェンギヌン괭이눈」という珍しい花で、日本語では「ネコノメソウ」と言うらしい。パダサナイとベルナルドがこの珍しい花の写真を撮った。

退避所には午後2時に着いたが、ここからの下りが長かった。最後の渓流に着いたのは午後4時半。そしてティップリ場所の白武山荘に着いたのは5時だった。

すでに大部分の会員が料理(タクトリタン)を食べ始めていた。ベルナルドとブライアンが遅れて到着。

最後に佳龍峰や金剛などが到着して全員そろったが、その前に緑蛇会長が200回記念スピーチ。続いて私も感謝のスピーチ。多くの人々が私にアトサン公式酒の「松葉酒」を注いでくれた。

ティップリは5時50分に終わった。帰路は意外に早く、8時前に南門へ戻った。
