Introducing Sobaeksan National Park
Sobaeksan (Little White Mountain; 423 0708; adult/youth/child W1600/600/300; 8am-6pm), one of Korea’s largest parks, is rich in flora and offers good hiking trails through dense forests. The climbs are not particularly steep, but can still be hard work.

Birobong (1439m) is the highest peak in the park and is most easily reached from Darian/Cheondong-ni (three hours up and two hours down if you’re reasonably fit). The route follows a picturesque 6.5km trail along the beautiful Cheondong valley. The peak is famous for azaleas, which bloom around late May.
