Yumyeongsan itineraries
Ridge up to the grass top
Walk through the nut-pine forest to the ridge, reach the grass summit on a 6 km round trip, then finish with a chicken stew beside the stream. The gentlest way to do Yumyeongsan in a day from Seoul.
Valley loop and back way
Day one is a 7 km loop up the ridge and down past three pools. Sleep at a pension by the forest, then cross to Nongdachi Pass on the Yangpyeong side and walk the empty Soguni-san ridge.
Mountain to two rivers
Day one is a loose day in the forest and by the stream. On day two climb the Yangpyeong back way over Soguni-san to the summit, then visit the ginkgo at Yongmunsa. Day three walks the spot where the two rivers meet at Dumulmeori.
