Geumosan itineraries
Summit day, cable car down
Walk up on your own legs, ride the cable car down. You get the Nakdong River from the summit marker and a mountain-herb set meal before your knees notice.
Yaksaam loop and Chaemijeong
Day one is the big loop: summit, the cliff temple Yaksaam, then Doseon Cave. Day two is lake walks, a pavilion and a riverside park to loosen the legs.
Silla temple trail to Jikjisa
Only one day goes to the mountain. The first covers the spot where Buddhism reached Silla plus a market, the second rides up and walks down, the third reaches Jikjisa in Gimcheon.
