Minjujisan itineraries

Summit by Jjoksaegol

The shortest line to the top, straight up from the car park at the head of the Mulhan valley. Afterwards you cool your feet in the stream and finish with cheonggukjang at a village restaurant.

Falls and Three Peaks

Day one is the big loop past three waterfalls to Samdobong, Seokgibong and the summit. Day two is a slow morning at the top of the 24-bend pass and a barefoot walk in the forest.

Two Ridges, Moon Peak

Day one is a pure ridge walk from Domaryeong over Gakhosan to the summit. Day two is a shorter summit from the forest, then down to the stream. Day three trades peaks for the moon-perch cliff at Hwanggan, a temple and a wine tunnel.
