어리목
The 4.7-km-long walk up a forested valley is gentle and fairly consistent sloped. It is more than 1 km from the bus stop to the trail start. In winter, the trail is packed with children using the packed down snow for sledding downhill (bring an E-mart bag!) It has a rest house and basic shop at the trail start. Terminates at Witse Oreum.
영실
The shortest path at 3.7 km (and 2.5 km from the carpark to the trail start). Weaves up a ridge along steep cliffs and past some waterfalls (frozen in winter) before a final flat stretch at the top. Has a decent restaurant and shop at the trail start. Terminates at Witse Oreum.
Most routes are accessible via bus. State your chosen path at the ticket booth in the inter-city bus terminal. In winter the final buses back can leave quite early (around 17:00).
