和琴半島｜弟子屈を楽しむ｜弟子屈なび｜北海道弟子屈町
屈斜路湖の南側につきでた、和琴半島。かつては火山の溶岩ドームでしたが、大昔に岸とつながって半島になりました。ここは地熱が高く、冬でも凍結しない場所のある不思議スポット。
半島全体は原生的な森に覆われ、北海道らしい豊かさに出合える場所でもあります。
半島の入り口には「和琴フィールドハウス」があり、周辺の自然や地形などについて分かりやすく展示しています。まずはこちらに立ち寄って情報収集するのもよし。
半島にはいたるところから温泉が湧き出ているほか、釣りやカヌー、水遊びなど楽しみ方はさまざま。駐車場脇の土産店では名物の「いも団子」も購入できます。ゆっくりと時間をとって遊びたいスポットです。

ポンポン山｜弟子屈を楽しむ｜弟子屈なび｜北海道弟子屈町
屈斜路湖畔にある仁伏温泉に入り口のある、ポンポン山。小高い丘と言っても差し支えないような小さな山です。
可愛らしい山の名の由来は、山の上に立って地面を強く踏むと、ポンポンと音が共鳴することから。まるで内部が空洞になっているかのようです。付近一帯は地熱が高く、そのせいで冬でも雪が積もらないのも特徴のひとつ。大地が暖かいため厳寒期でもコオロギの仲間「マダラスズ」がジィージィーと鳴いていて、コケの緑にも驚かされる不思議な場所です。
親しみやすい小さな山ですが、訪れる人はそれほど多くないため、夏は入り口付近の道が分かりにくくなっていることも。濃密な緑に包まれて、森林浴やバードウォッチング、ハイキングにも最適です。
※周辺を歩く際には、ヒグマやスズメバチなどに充分ご注意ください。
※ポンポン山へ至る道は未整備の状況です。携帯電話がつながらない場所もありますので、入山の際は安全管理、リスクマネジメントの対策をお願い致します。
＜ポンポン山＞
・標高 360m
・登山時間の目安 1時間

津別峠｜弟子屈を楽しむ｜弟子屈なび｜北海道弟子屈町
屈斜路湖の周りにある4つの峠のうち、最も標高の高いのが津別峠。
道幅はとても狭く、急峻な山道をくねくねと登っていくような峠は、カーブを曲がるごとに新しい風景が広がり、進んでいくだけでもワクワクします。
峠を登り、さらに分岐した林道を2.5kmほど登ったところには、標高947mの津別峠展望台があります。まるで中世ヨーロッパの古城を思わせるような外観の展望台から望むのは、360度の大パノラマ。雄大な屈斜路湖と、遥かかなたに広がるオホーツク海、阿寒の峰々の美しき稜線など、異国の地へ来たかのような絶景が広がります。
また、春から秋にかけてのこの峠は、雲海の広がる名所としても知られています。屈斜路湖を覆いつくす雲の海が一面に広がり、夜明けとともに朝陽に赤く染まっていく様はとても荘厳。心に残る絶景をカメラに収めようと、全国からカメラマンが集まるのもうなずけます。
※峠は11月～5月下旬まで冬季通行止めとなり、展望台へ行くことはできません。また、開通時も大型バスの通行はできません。
