Trail description

The classic ascent of Deogyusan from the Gucheondong valley, following a stream past pools and small falls to the temple of Baengnyeonsa. From the temple a steady stair path climbs to Hyangjeokbong, at 1614 m the highest point of the national park. In winter the summit firs are famously encased in snow and rime.
