Hwaamsa to Sinseondae: Ulsanbawi, Face to Face
An hour's climb from a small Geumgangsan temple puts you level with Seoraksan's most famous rock wall. Few trails in Korea give this much for this little effort.
Quiet Korea · Mountains
Trails with more silence than people
Korean mountains and ridges that reward an early start — sea of clouds, rime ice, and summits you may have to yourself.
De Hwaamsa a Sinseondae: Ulsanbawi, cara a cara
Una hora de subida desde un pequeño templo al pie del Geumgangsan basta para quedar a la altura de la pared de roca más famosa del Seoraksan. Pocos senderos de Corea dan tanto con tan poco esfuerzo.
Duwibong: A Mountain with Four Faces
It stands about as high as Sobaeksan, one of Korea's best-loved peaks, but sees a fraction of the hikers. The forest changes as you climb, and on its flank grows a yew more than 1,400 years old. It is the mountain I return to most often.
