黒岳の原生林を散策


黒岳は、原生林が特に原始的な状態に残っている地域です。男池を出発点とする散策ルートでは、緑豊かな森や多くの泉、滝が見られます。


駐車場から男池までの道のりはほぼ平坦です。男池を訪れる人には、地下から湧き出る男池の名水で持参のボトルをいっぱいにすることをおすすめします。男池を出発すると、周りの森林には主に樫の木、ブナ、カエデなどがあることに気づきます。樹齢300年以上もの大きな樹木もあります。男池を川沿いに歩いていくと冷たい水煙で知られる「名水の滝」という滝があります。



原生林の散策ルートでは、自然とのつながりを感じ、新鮮な山の空気を浴び、流れる水の清らかな音を楽しむことができます。このルートは、この豊かな自然の中の様々な植物や動物を観察する絶好の機会を与えてくれます。

A Walk through the Primary Forest of Mt. Kurodake


A primary forest is kept in a particularly pristine state in the Mt. Kurodake area. Visitors can explore the lush forests and the many springs and waterfalls on a hike that sets out from Oike springs.


The path from the parking lot to the springs is nearly level. Visitors to Oike are encouraged to try the famous water that springs from the earth and are welcome to fill canisters or bottles with pure water from ponds. Setting off from Oike, hikers will notice that the surrounding forest is predominantly of Japanese oak, beech, and maple. Some of the large trees in this forest are over 300 years old. The walk from the pond runs alongside an accessible riverside path to the Meisui no taki Falls, well-known for its cooling plumes of mist.


The hiking trail gives visitors a chance to feel a connection with nature, take in the fresh mountain air, and enjoy the relaxing sound of flowing water. The route also offers a great opportunity to observe a variety of plants and animals that call this fertile landscape home.
