Jirisan Nogodan to Cheonwangbong Ridge

Korea's longest mountain trail at 25 kilometers of alpine ridge connects Nogodan plateau to Cheonwangbong summit at 1915 meters, necessitating an overnight stay at a high-altitude shelter like the Nogodan Shelter, which accommodates 80 guests per night. The path winds through virgin silver fir forest and past Beopseo Hermitage, a 600-year-old Buddhist temple, offering a cultural and natural immersion.
