Gyebangsan Mountain Weather

[South Korea’s 5th highest peak, adjacent to Odaesan] It is the highest peak of Jirung, which branches off from Odaesan Mountain in the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range and divides the Namhangang River and the Bukhangang River. Gyebangsan Mountain, which is taller than Birobong Peak on Odaesan Mountain, which is also the mother mountain of the famous Gariwangsan Mountain in Pyeongchang-gun, and provides the best observatory overlooking the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range, is the 5th highest mountain in South Korea after Halla, Jiri, Seorak, and Deogyusan Mountain. However, aside from the fact that it is the 5th highest peak in South Korea, there are some interesting things about Gyebangsan Mountain. Unduryeong, the highest vehicular pass in South Korea, is one of them. The elevation difference from Unduryeong to the summit is 488 meters, so even beginners can climb it easily and fully enjoy the sense of altitude, increasing the popularity of Gyebangsan Mountain. At the southern foot of the mountain is the birthplace of Lee Seung-bok and Bangadari mineral spring, famous throughout the country. The sea breeze from the Yeongdong region collides with the northwest wind blowing from the continent, resulting in heavy snowfall. Therefore, Gyebangsan Mountain, which shows off its true value by creating beautiful snow scenes, is definitely considered a winter hiking course. However, hiking times vary greatly between when there is snow and when there is no snow. Compared to normal times, you should expect more than twice as many ridges or valleys.
