[Korean mountain] Inwangsan Mountain 02

From now on, it is a hiking.

(Until now, it was a just walking around.)

But a start is not bad.

Yeap! let's go!

When you across a road, there is a stair way and a stand stone which named 'Seok gul am'

Actually it was known as a temple name in Gyeong joo but I'm not sure why the stone stands here.

Anyway pass the stand stone....

Threre is a map... but in Korean....

But you don't need to care, I'll let you know all the path!

After a map, a trail road... looks like....

noway?

I asked several times a police man but he said yes, this is a road for Inwangsan.

(He will stand there at gourd post to prevent to put a fire.)

On insecurely road, there is a old gourd post which looks used before 1980's.

Before 1990's, this way was prevented because of north Korea.

In 1970's several north Korean infiltrated to the Blue house where Korean president live.

Anyway... until.....

not bad trail.

Sometimes...

Good enough to hike~

Yesssss!

We arrived at a water springs!

The board are saying the water is enough to drink or not.

It was inspected every quarter in each year.

It passed most of inspection so...

An old guy try to drink!

So why don't you try?

It was nice!

I sweated to hike by this mineral spring but the water take all of my heat and sweat.

To take it, it doesn't need more then 2 cups of water.

So let's hike again!

Actually, real hiking is start at this point!
