A hiking trail is developed starting from Eunti Village, Yeonpung-myeon, Goesan-gun. Climb along the farm road to the east of Eunti Village, pass apple and ginseng fields, and then a hiking trail (forest road) leads up to a gentle valley. From Gyeomtijae, follow the main ridge of Baekdudaegan. At the summit, take a detour and climb up the slope. The slope is steep and the rocky and dirt paths are connected, so be careful as it is easy to slip. Descend back the way you came and follow the right (east) ridge at the main ridge fork. After about 20 minutes, there is a path that goes down to the valley on the left from the castle ruins. There are many signposts and oak trees are thick. After going down for about 30 minutes, a waterfall appears and the slope becomes much easier. If you go down again for about 10 minutes, you will meet the road you took up to Gyeomtijae. The hiking trail toward Mungyeong is strictly controlled from public access at Bongamsa Temple.
