Embracing fertile plains and highly picturesque valleys, Jangan Mountain (1237.4m) is truly magnificent in cherry blossoms and flower petals rain down in April.

”It was selected in consideration of the fact that it was designated as a county park (1986) due to its large and small valleys including Deoksan Valley, ponds and strangely shaped rocks such as Upper Yongso and Lower Yongso in harmony with the forest. It is famous for the vast reed fields that spread from the top of the mountain to the eastern ridge and Deoksan Yongso Valley.
The road up from Beopnyeon-dong is a hill from the beginning. After 20 minutes of strenuous climbing, it becomes gentle. The path leading up to Jangan Mountain is densely lined with trees, blocking out the sunlight, and there are well-placed signposts, so it is not difficult to find the way. . The summit is a heliport, so it is unfortunate that there is no shade from trees. From the summit toward Muryeong Pass, a field of silver grass stands spectacularly, and there is a spring located on the road leading to Muryeong Pass. The road leading from the top of the hill to Beonam-myeon is unpaved, and Muryeong Pass has restrooms, a campsite, and a snack bar.
