Cheontaesan itineraries
Rope Wall in a Day
You haul yourself up a 75 m rock face on a fixed rope, then loop down the Namgogae ridge. The peak is only 714 m, but your palms tire first.
Ridge, Then a Valley Bed
Day one goes up past the old monument and down Namgogae, then a night in a valley pension. Day two is a loose-legged walk under the ginkgo and across a suspension bridge.
Three Days, Rock and River
A light first day of bridge and fish porridge, rope-wall day on the second, and a loose last day at Wollyubong and the river. A low mountain still fills three days.
