There is a hiking guide at Deulmeori, which is useful. Pass through the wide open space, pass the building on the left, and at the end of a gentle uphill climb you will come across live timber. If you follow the rock ridge, you will soon reach Seobong. The west peak, summit, and east peak are connected by Ambongneung, so the view is good. After passing through the tattered area, you will reach Dongbong Peak, and if you carefully descend the steep section following the Bokdubong Peak signpost, you will reach Gakwoo Wood where a forest road passes. If you go straight across the forest road and go over the hill in front of you, you will come to a place with stone walls piled up like a mountain fortress. The view is so good that you can see Mt. Maisan and Bokdubong Peak in the distance. At Bokdubong Peak, you abandon the southeast-facing Jureung and head towards the northern ridge. When you reach the third forest road, you will come to a fork in the road, and if you go down the gentle mountain bamboo road, you will reach Nalmeori Hakseon-dong village.
