    Tips

    Hiking

    A five to ten-minute hike from the cable car mountain station leads to the ruins of an old castle. There is not much left of the fortress, but the view is amazing: you can see Sokcho, the Ssang River valley, and the coastline to the east, as well as the surrounding peaks of the Taebaek mountain range.

    Ensure you wear appropriate hiking shoes, especially in winter, as the trail to the peak does not get cleared of snow. Try to come in the morning, as it can get very crowded during the day.
