Hwangseoksan itineraries

Yudong loop and fortress

A steep hour and a half to the ridge, then you walk beside the fortress wall to the summit rock. The day ends with eel in the valley.

Ridge to Geomangsan

Day one runs from Hwangseoksan along the silver-grass ridge over Geomangsan and down to Yongchusa. Day two circles the pavilions and ends on braised ribs.

Pavilions, fortress, ridge

Warm up among valley pavilions on day one, walk the long Hwangseoksan to Geomangsan ridge on day two, and spend the last day slowly in Anui town and Sangnim forest.
