Surrounded by the pristine nature of Gangwon-do, Baekdeoksan Mountain (elevation 1350.1m) is best visited during autumn in October when the red maple leaf tunnel is spectacular. Visualizing spicy water chicken galbi accompanied by savory buckwheat crepes at the foot of the hill makes the final steps to the peak feel effortless. Post-hike, dining at a local valley restaurant is the ultimate reward.
”Sajasan Mountain (1,120m), Sagatbong Peak (1,020m), and Sotdaebong Peak (884m) are towering, and the scenery is magnificent, with deep valleys. It was selected considering the fact that it is the watershed of the Pyeongchang River and the Jucheon River, and is said to have been founded by Master Jajang during the Silla Dynasty. Beopheungsa Temple and the Jingxiao Daesa Pagoda, designated as Treasure No. 613, are famous.
Deulmeori is Munjae Tunnel, which is the border between Hoengseong-gun and Pyeongchang-gun. If you follow the steep hiking trail to the left of Munjae Tunnel and go through small roads and forest roads for 25 minutes, you will arrive at 923.6 Peak, a small peak with a triangular point. It takes 25 minutes to reach the heliport at 1,019m above sea level, and you can climb Sajasan Mountain, which has a gentle ridge, without much difficulty. However, you must be careful as there are steep downhills in places on the road from Sajasan Mountain to Baekdeoksan Mountain and the heliport northeast of the top of Baekdeoksan Mountain. The distance from Dangjae, where you can descend to Gwaneumsa Temple, to the small Dangjae and the summit is 3.2km, which can be reached in 35 minutes. If you take a detour and climb up the rock peak that forms a cliff with pine trees, you will reach the summit, which is about 4 pyeong high. Small Dangjae is also a crossroads that divides into Gwaneumsa Temple, Beopheungsa Temple, and Binesogol. The road leading down to Mugol is 4.7km long. As you go down, you come across a gold mine site. It used to be a place where a lot of gold was produced, but it is currently closed because it is a mine.
