和田峠は、江戸時代に江戸（東京）と京（京都）を結んでいた街道、中山道の峠です。
この峠は頂上が標高1,600mで、この峠は当時の主要な街道で一番標高が高い難所でした。
そのため、峠の麓の宿場であった下諏訪宿と和田宿は、峠越え前に宿泊する客が多く、大変栄えたそうです。
今でも、この昔の道は残っています。
近年は道が整備されて通れるようになっています。
キャッシュの近くには、昔の道と、今の道（国道２０号）の両方が通っています。
近くに、峠を越える旅人が休憩した茶屋の跡地が残っています。
その頃からの名物だった、「力餅」が今でもドライブインで販売されています。
キャッシュを見つけたら食べてみて下さい。
キャッシュはプラスチック容器です。
Let's enjoy caching!
