Seonunsan Mountain Weather

This course goes halfway around the west side of Seonun Valley, which forms a Y shape, and then down to the west Gaji Valley. It is also the most loved hiking trail as it is packed with key attractions. You start hiking from the entrance of Seonunsa Temple, a thousand-year-old temple, towards Seoksangam Rock. After passing the green tea fields lined up on both sides, you will soon reach Seoksangam Rock. Fill your canteen here. If you climb Maijae and walk as if taking a walk, you will reach Dosolsan Mountain, the mountain behind Seonunsa Temple, also known as Suribong. Basically, it is a rocky ridge, so you can see Seonunsa Temple from here and there as if looking down from an airplane. In the Gaeipalsan area, you unexpectedly come across a reed forest on the mountain. Ichae, which can only be seen in Taebaek, a limestone terrain, is also present here. When you climb Cheonmabong Peak, the best crags in the land, and indeed in East Asia, are spread out beneath your feet. This is because the porous andesan rock walls, like the limestone walls of France and Spain, allow climbers to climb even at angles exceeding 90 degrees. Those who are not expert mountain climbers look for a turtle here. The standard is the famous rock-carved Buddha carved from a turtle's nose. Sangdosol [Am] is located at the right eye site, and [lower] Manwoldae behind Dosolam and the large wall on the left side of the gorge on the way to Yongmun Cave form two feet. Seonunsan Mountain has many strangely shaped rocks, but there is nothing this exquisite.
