Gwaneumbong in a day

Past Eunseon Falls, up the stone and iron stairs, and Gwaneumbong lays the Jayeonseong ridge out in front of you. Back down, you finish with a bowl of cold noodles in Daejeon.

Gapsa ridge, Donghaksa valley

Day one climbs from Gapsa to Sambulbong via Geumjandi Pass. Day two is easier: Sinwonsa and Eunseon Falls. Sleeping in old Gongju makes dinner simple.
