Trail description

The route to the cliff hermitage of Yeonjudae, clinging to the rocks just below Gwanaksan's summit. From the Gwacheon side the trail climbs steep granite and steps past the temple of Yeonjuam to the dramatic perch above the plains, about 2.1 km one way. One of Seoul's most beloved and photogenic mountain walks.
