Unaksan Mountain (934.7m) offers a rugged yet accessible getaway near Seoul, particularly recommended during late autumn when colorful fallen leaves add romantic aura. Standing on the rocky crest to catch the breeze, followed by acorn jelly salad and boiled chicken soup enjoyed on a valley deck on your way down, guarantees a perfect weekend climbing experience.
”It was selected considering the fact that the scenery surrounding the main peak, Manggyeongdae, is so outstanding that it is called Gyeonggi Sogeumgang. It is famous for the Eight Scenic Views of Unak, including Hyeondeungsa Temple, a thousand-year-old temple, Baeknyeon Waterfall, Orangkaeso, Eyebrow Rock, Elephant Rock, Manggyeongdae, Radish Waterfall, Keungolnaechichi Rock, and Nochaaegiso.
The hike begins by crossing Unak Bridge at Seokgeori and first follows the road leading to Hyeondeungsa Temple. This is to see Baeknyeon Falls and Muu Falls, and then head to the ridge on the right and enter the actual mountain path. After climbing the ridge and going for about 7 minutes, you will reach Eyebrow Rock. There are four places with good views on the rocky ridge where iron ropes and wire ladders continue. These are before and after peak 728, the "Byeongpungbawi Rock Studio", the cloud bridge area, and peak 924 just before the summit. On the other hand, the view from the top is not good. On the way down, enjoy the view from Manggyeongdae and cliff rocks. The site of Gungye Castle is an unfounded thing that was created by someone using what little traces of the castle remained. To see Oxtail Falls and Rainbow Falls, you must not descend from Cheonghaksa Temple but pass through small ridges and valleys and then descend along the ridge.
