Deoksungsan (Sudeoksan) itineraries
From Sudeoksa to the top
A thousand stone steps up and down, done before lunch. Then a mountain-greens set meal and a hot spring to close the day.
Ridge loop, then a hot bath
A loop that never repeats a step, then a second day by car to a temple and the big lake.
Three days around Deoksan
Day one is the quieter reservoir loop. Day two covers temples, the lake and the market. Day three ends with grilled oysters by the west coast.
