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
