Hiking

The Baekmudong to Cheonwangbong section has many stone steps, so shoes with good grip are essential.

Hiking

The highest mountain on the Korean Peninsula, offering correspondingly good views. The climb shouldn't be underestimated, and the temperature is quite cold and windy due to the high altitude. Snow can also linger at the summit for a long time.

Hiking

A stunning view from the summit of the highest mountain on the Korean Peninsula. Despite the cold November weather, the summit was quite busy.
