Samaksan Mountain hiking course
Hiking course map
Samaksan Mountain is one of the mountains that many hikers visit because of its beautiful scenery and unique rock formations. The height is 655.82m, and the main peak is Yonghwabong Peak.
There are two main hiking courses in Samaksan Mountain. One is a departure course at the entrance of the ticket office recommended for beginners in hiking and the other one is a departure course at Uiam Ticket Office with a good view from the beginning. We chose a course that departs from the entrance of the ticket office and returns.
Entrance of Deungseon Falls
If you turn off your ticket at the entrance of the ticket office of Deungseon Falls, you will see Deungseon Falls right away.
+ Tip: You have to pay 2,000 won at the entrance of the light ticket office. However, you can use it as a discount coupon at a nearby restaurant! Don't forget to use it on the same day.
From the beginning of the Samaksan Mountain hiking trail, beautiful cliffs and strange rocks catch the eye.
It is a 10-meter-high waterfall in the canyon at the entrance of Samaksan Mountain. Many people take commemorative photos here and start hiking in earnest through the stairs on the right.
Deungseon Falls has 2nd and 3rd waterfalls in addition to the 15m high waterfall, and other large and small waterfalls such as Deungseon Falls, Biseon Falls, Seunghak Falls, Baengnyeon Falls, and Jureum Falls continue.
Autumn leaves in Samaksan Mountain
As it is the maple season, there were many pretty maple points everywhere. Samaksan Mountain is not known as a maple attraction like Naejangsan Mountain and Seoraksan Mountain, but if you come during the maple season, you can still see maple trees everywhere.
After passing Deungseon Falls and other waterfalls, a full-fledged hike begins.
About 0.8km up from Deungseon Falls, and it is said that 2.1km is left to the top of Yonghwabong Peak.
It is 333 stairs that are notorious for having a hard time to death. (A.K.A Kkalttakgogae in Korea) . If you pass this section, it will be easier. Let's cheer up and go up.
