Myeongseongsan itineraries

Falls, then the grass

Up past two waterfalls to the silver grass below the pavilion, then back down to a pot of tofu stew and a lap of the lake. The summit stays off the list.

Summit, then hot spring

Day one goes on past the grass to the 922 m summit and ends in a hot spring. Day two is a slow loop of a mountain temple and a flooded quarry.

Traverse and gorge

Day one links the falls, the grass and the summit in a six-hour traverse down to Sanan Pass. Day two is the Hantan River gorge and a quarry, day three is the lake and a temple for tired legs.
