It is a nice walk that passes behind Cocktail and Gwangil Ranch, 640 meters above sea level, to Gyubongam Hermitage, which stands against an oddly shaped cliff. From Gyubongam to Jangbuljae, there are many things to see, such as Jeogongneodeol and Seokbulam, and there are also good views of Baekma Ridge and Anyangsan Mountain. Although Ipseokdae may seem far from Jangbuljae, it can be reached in about 15 minutes. The summit is a restricted area, so access is only possible up to the summit. The descent begins from Ipseokdae to the summit, passes through Jungmeorijae, and leads to Jeungsimsa Temple.
