Writer's Thoughts
“
Embracing fertile plains and highly picturesque valleys, Minjoojisan (1241.7m) is truly magnificent in cherry blossoms and flower petals rain down in April. Climbing past the tranquil temple courtyard leads to an immense view. A feast of Jeolla-style mountain vegetable bibimbap and freshwater crab soup afterward completes the journey.
”Mountain Features & Selection Reason
It was selected in consideration of the fact that it has an alpine peak over 1,000m high, is harmonized with dense forests and rocks, and is home to Mulhan Valley, the largest primeval forest valley in Korea. It is a deep valley that flows about 20km upstream of Hancheon Village, where the water is cold. Mulhan Valley, one of the most famous eco-tourism destinations with well-preserved primeval forests, is especially famous. There is a three-headed rock-carved Buddha statue about 50 meters south of the summit. Adjacent to Samdobong, the border of Chungbuk, Jeonbuk, and Gyeongbuk
Climbing Points & Features
[The mountain that holds the secret of Samdumaaebul] Minjooji Mountain (1241.7m) spans three provinces, including Chungbuk, Gyeongbuk, and Jeonbuk. To the east are Seokgibong Peak and Samdobong Peak, and to the north, Gakhosan Mountain rises like wings to the left and right, showing a majestic appearance and overlooking the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range. In 'Donggukyeoji Seungnam' and 'Daedongyeojido', it is recorded as Baekunsan (白雲山), but it was changed to Minjoojisan during the Japanese colonial period. The Chungcheong-do side hiking trail centered around Mulhan Valley is the longest and most beautiful on Minjooji Mountain. The valleys flowing down from four peaks over 1,000 meters high, including Samdobong, all merge in Mulhan Valley, so the water volume is abundant and the scenery is beautiful. In particular, in Mulhan Valley, Yongso Waterfall, Okso Waterfall, Uiyonggol Waterfall, and Jujugol Waterfall (Minimi Waterfall) near Hwangnyongsa Temple are worth seeing. The ridge that passes through Samdobong and Seokgibong to the summit of Minjoojisan Mountain is filled with miscellaneous trees, azaleas, and azaleas, creating a spectacular sight.
If you go up about 1km from the Mulhan Valley parking lot, you will reach a pine tree forest area. There is a notice board leading to Minjoojisan Mountain and Samdobong Peak. If you choose Samdobong and climb up through Okso, Uiyonggol Falls, and Jujuam Falls, you will reach Sammagoljae. If you follow the ridge on the right, you will reach Samdobong Peak, where the Samdo Harmony Pagoda is located. The arch-curved ridge leading to Seokgibong and Gakhobong peaks of Minjoojisan Mountain and the majestic ridge of the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range leading to Deogyusan Mountain in the south unfold. From Seokgibong Peak, it looks like Minjoojisan Mountain can be reached, but it takes more than 1 hour and 30 minutes. Other than climbing over rocky terrain a few times, there are no difficult courses. After passing the Jjoksaegol intersection, you can reach the summit of Minjoojisan Mountain in about 10 minutes. There are occasional forks in the path down Jjoksaegol, but you can easily descend by following the signs posted by the mountaineering club.
