Wolchulsan National Park (μμΆμ°κ΅λ¦½κ³΅μ)
About
Wolchulsan Mountain, which means "moon rising mountain," is a national park in the southernmost part of Korea with beautiful nature. The mountain towering around Cheonhwangbong Peak at 810.7 meters above sea level stands out even more due to the flat land around it. The unique rock formations look differently depending on the angle, as a human face or animal shape, exuding overwhelming grandeur. More than 700 plant species and 800 animal species inhabit the area, and a subtropical forest and a warm-temperate forest coexist, making it very valuable to preserve. The ridge from the Cheonhwangsa Temple site or Baramgyegok Valley to Cheonhwangbong Peak, Gujeongbong Peak, and Dogapsa Temple is the main trail, which takes about six hours. The courseβs most exciting point is the 120-meter high and 54-meter long red suspension bridge that offers a picturesque view of Wolchulsan Mountain and the fields and paddies under the mountain.
