Samsuryeong (Pijae) Pass, Samsu-dong, Taebaek

Samsuryeong is the pass where rain splits toward the Han, the Nakdong and the Osipcheon. From here the ridge runs toward Deokhangsan and ends at the Geonuiryeong pass. No big summits, but the ridge hops over one pass and saddle after another, so the ups and downs never stop. A group once walked it in a little over two hours in deep snow, which says the track is clear. At Geonuiryeong you either carry on toward Deokhangsan or call a taxi. It suits anyone who wants one slice of the Baekdudaegan without chasing a summit.
