Zur\u00fcck zu Pilgerung auf dem Kumano Kodo<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decide not to return to Kugochi village because of the inconvenient bus connection. Instead, I walk the round way around Hongu that I would have missed, else.  The Akagi-gae route, which is one part of the circle, is closed, but possible. Today I have very sunny weather and the forest is dry. The path leads me up the mountains and the smell of trees is amazing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can look into valley and over the next hills. It’s a sea of forestry mountains. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the route is officially closed I’m all alone again. The path hasn’t been used for a while, so I have to take care to destroy many spider webs that I would run into.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
