Bangtaesan Mountain Weather★ 100 Famous Peak

This is the shortest course, starting and ending at Misan Natural Recreation Forest or a private mountain lodge in Daejin-dong. Passenger cars can travel there. The path to the private mineral water is a valley road that is not very steep. The mineral water is carbonated water like cider minus short term, and there are many stone towers around it. It was accumulated by people who came to treat gastrointestinal diseases or diabetes. Afterwards, the slope is quite steep until the ridge intersection. The main hill, where grass and trees form the peak, is gentle and soft. At the top, Daecheongbong Peak of Seoraksan Mountain stands tall, making you wonder if it is that close. Guryongdeok [Bong], where six hiking trails meet, is bare and treeless. Instead, since there are so many herbs, it is crowded with herb pickers in spring. As it is dark, when you enter the valley, you can often see damseo (潭沼) that are good for taking a breath. If you look at them, wash your face, and come down leisurely, you will already be in Daejin-dong.

The starting point is Hongcheon. There are 15 local trains to Hyeon-ri near Jeokgari, and direct trains run at hourly intervals. If you go to Misan-ri, get off at Sangnam and take a taxi. When catching Saldun as a deulmeori, use 8 direct buses and 4 local buses to Naeae. There are 52 buses to Hongcheon from Dong Seoul Terminal and 41 from Sangbong Terminal. There are buses from Busan, Ulsan, Pohang, Daegu, Andong, Daejeon, Jeonju, Incheon, Suwon, Ansan, Goyang, and Uijeongbu to cities outside of Gangwon-do. ①Like when going to Mt. Seorak, take national road 44 → local road 444 from Hongcheon-eup → go a little on local road 451 from Sangnam-myeon and take national road 31 → local road 418 from Hyeon-ri. You can continue on National Road 44 and transfer to National Road 56 at Gulun-ri, or to Local Road 451 at Cheoljeong Checkpoint, but in the end, you will end up on Route 31. ② When you reach the private mountain lodge, take local road 446 from Sangnam, then cross the bridge over Naerincheon in Namjeon-dong and go up the slope. ③To get to Saldunsanjang, take national highway No. 56, continue to Naein, and turn onto provincial road No. 446 along Naerincheon at Gwangwon-ri.
