Itinerary description

A short hike with nice views, it is definitely recommended if you visit the temple. Even if you don't complete the hike, the first 20 minutes bring you to a nice viewpoint. Note that there is another entry/exit point from a different road, I didn't take it but chose to retrace my steps.

Mostly easy hike though note that there are some steep parts and rocky terrain. As always in Korea-bring water and snacks. The sunset is magnificent, but it means that the last stretch would be done in darkness. As it is an easy way down that is no problem for am experienced hiker.
