Jaeyaksan itineraries

Pyochungsa to Suminbong

The classic day: start at the Pyochungsa car park, cross the silver-grass plateau, touch the summit marker and come down to a hot lunch.

Cable car to the grass

Day one saves your legs with the cable car and a trip to the plateau; day two is a slow round of pool and temple. Good if long climbs worry you.

Summit, Ulsan, grass

Day one is the full climb from Pyochungsa, day two a rest day with an Ulsan temple and bulgogi, day three an easy cable car visit to the grass.
