Obongsan itineraries

Summit and back in a day

Cross the lake by boat, start at the temple gate, climb the rock crest and look down on Soyang Lake. The easiest way to reach the top in a day.

Valley first, ridge next

Day one is a slow walk to the temple and falls by boat. Day two starts early at Baehuryeong and runs the whole five-peak ridge.

Three days, one mountain

Day one is a warm-up around Sinbuk and town, day two drives over the pass for the summit, and day three is slow noodles and coffee.
