格伦科

格伦科两侧沿着 A82 公路陡然展开,村子则位于西端的利文湖畔。这里属于苏格兰西高地的洛哈伯,沿湖往西几分钟就是巴拉丘利什。村里有餐饮、住宿,也有几处适合雨天打发时间的去处。峡谷本身吸引徒步者前往 Aonach Eagach 等山脊,而村子周边较低的步道则更适合短途走走。这里的山地天气变化很快。夏季周末,穿过峡谷的 A82 公路沿线停车带很快就会停满,所以最好早点到,或者从村里步行出发。


去苏格兰格伦科前,你该知道什么?

村子位于 Coe 河注入 Loch Leven 之处,距威廉堡以南 16 英里,A82 公路旁。Glen Coe 就在房屋后方陡然升起,所以不用开太远,就能走山路、沿湖散步,也能直接到水边。

  • Glencoe Lochan 就在村子对面,隔着 Coe 河相望。Lord Strathcona 为思乡的加拿大妻子建了这里,还在周围种下了针叶树。Glencoe Lochan Trail 全程 2.5 公里,爬升 100 米,起点旁就有停车场。建议预留 1 到 1.5 小时。
  • Loch Leven 自 1972 年以来一直是 Glencoe Boat Club 的航行地,俱乐部基地位于村子和 Ballachulish 之间。想不坐船也看湖景,可以去 Loch Leven View Point。
  • 往返格拉斯哥和威廉堡的 Scottish Citylink 长途车会在村里停靠。向北到威廉堡大约要 30 分钟;如果你不开车,这会方便不少。

夏天蚊蠓很多。去 lochan 或 glen 之前,记得带上驱蚊剂。

格伦科的地貌特征——陡峭的U形山谷、冰斗和刀刃般的山脊——是最后一个冰河时期约1万至1.2万年前由冰川雕琢而成的,刻蚀在更古老的火山和沉积岩基岩之中,也正是这些基岩造就了这片山谷鲜明的对比。

格伦科徒步、小湖与观景点

格伦科是一处两侧峭壁陡立的山谷,四周尽是高耸山脊和冰川雕琢出的冰斗。这里的步道选择很多,从路边短途观景点到全天山地线路都有。再往谷底走一些,Glencoe Lochan 坐落在松树和云杉林中,有一条短环线,隔着湖面就能望见群山。Glencoe Lochan Trail 沿着清晰的小径绕这座小湖一圈,穿过松林和桦树林。这是一条短而轻松的步行路线。想看开阔风景又不想走太远,可以去 Loch Leven View Point,这是一处紧凑的路边观景点,俯瞰 Loch Leven,对望格伦科群峰。湖岸边的 Glencoe Boat Club Ltd 是个小巧的港湾,你可以在这里看鸟、拍照,或者沿着岸线走上一小段。出发前往格伦科的全天山地线路之前,不妨先到 Glencoe Outdoor Centre 了解当地路线信息、获取基础装备支持,或者参加带队行程。
