Jirisan out-and-back from Donji

지리산 — 돈지 왕복 코스

The shortest way to just the summit

Hours

Before dusk, set by the last ferry

Address

Donji-ri, Saryang-myeon, Tongyeong

The route climbs from Donji village to Jirisan summit and returns the same way. Forest path mixes with rock until near the top, where the sea opens on every side. It is lighter than the full traverse but still meets the same iron stairs and rock. A good choice if you want a taste of the island without racing the ferry.
