Surrounded by the pristine nature of Gangwon-do, Hwaaksan Mountain (elevation 1468.3m) is best visited during mid-winter in January when the snow flowers bloom brilliantly. Visualizing aromatic Gondre namul (thistle) rice and chewy potato ongsimi at the foot of the hill makes the final steps to the peak feel effortless. Post-hike, dining at a local valley restaurant is the ultimate reward.
”It is the first high peak in Gyeonggi Province, and was selected for its outstanding scenery along the 10km ridge from Aegibong Peak to Sudeoksan Mountain and the excellent view, with a visibility of nearly 100km. It is home to the Jiptarigol Natural Recreation Forest, and you can view most of the mountains in the midwestern region from the summit.
The middle peak alone is a mountain higher than Sobaeksan Mountain (1440m), so it should not be taken lightly. This is even more important in the winter at high altitudes, and a few years ago, a couple of people froze to death at the neighboring Gumangbong Peak (1,168m). If you look at the Gwancheong-ri Public Health Clinic, across the street, the large wall measuring over 1,000 meters between Jungbong and Aegibong peaks overwhelms the view. If you pass the recently built Wongaksa Temple and cross the stream three times, you will reach Keungol Auraji. A 3-meter waterfall hangs on the kamaso below the last crossing. If you fill up the water at Auraji, a spring at the end of the main valley, and climb up a steep slope overgrown with pine trees, you will come across a forest road overgrown with weeds. If you cross it and follow the forest path again, you will reach Jungbong Seoreung three-way intersection. If you follow the gently uphill ridge while looking at Jungbong, you will reach a three-way intersection that meets the ridge road leading up from Bokhodeung Falls. Afterwards, a steep path continues up to Jungbong Ridge. After enjoying the view from the middle peak, head towards the Namneung, which is the easiest way to descend. The road is relatively clear and the scenery around Myeongjisan Mountain is nice. At the intersection, go down to the large valley to the west.
