元荃古道的古道段在哪裡?
Where is the original Yuen Tsuen Ancient Trail?
元荃古道大部分已經水泥化,真正古道的痕跡並不多,但只要細心留意便可找到「真‧古道」。
Most of the ancient roads in Yuen Tsuen Ancient Trail have been cemented. There are not many traces of the original ones, but if you pay close attention to them, you can find the “original” ancient trail.
在標距柱 C6105附近, 就可以見到當年古道的遺跡。這小段古道早年也曾經過復修,在石頭中間鋪水泥,但在薄薄水泥下仍可看見古道的石面。找到躲在底層的古道。
The remains of the Yuen Tsuen Ancient Trail can be see near to the Distance post C6015. This small section of the ancient trail was also repaired in its early years and cement was laid in the middle of the stone, but under the thin cement, the stone surface of the ancient trail could still be seen so that the ancient trail hidden in the bottom could be found.
一般古道都是昔日村民以附近山頭中找到的石頭,就地取材地築起道路,石頭大小不一,日舊或長滿青苔。不妨細心觀察這些古老的石塊,看能否勾劃出昔日古道的原貌?
Generally, the ancient trail was built by local villagers with stones found in the nearby hills. The stones were of different sizes, old or mossy. It is a good idea to observe these ancient stones carefully and see if they can make out the original appearance of the old road.
