Discover South Korea's highest mountain, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site
See the majestic 'Baengnokdam Lake' crater lake at the summit
This dormant volcano, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, stands at approximately 1,950 m in height. The mountain supports a wide range of biodiversity, from boreal to alpine plants and animals, and the summit is home to Baengnokdam Lake, which is famous for its massive crater lake. Because of the mountain's height and ruggedness, it is recommended that you bring hiking boots and drinking water. Some trails have limited access, such as limited climbing times and advance reservations, so find out more before you go.
