About Baegunsan(jeongseon)
This Baegunsan rises above the Donggang river where Jeongseon meets Pyeongchang. Six peaks line the river, and on the river side they fall in cliffs that look cut with a knife. It is part of the Gangwon Paleozoic Geopark.
The trail goes up and down from peak to peak, always above the curling river. The shortest climb, from Jeomjae bridge, is steep; the gentlest starts from Munhui village past the Baengnyong Cave centre and the Donggang pasqueflower colony.
The river views are the reason to come.
Worth seeing
- Donggang river bends 동강The river wrapping the mountain’s foot.
- Baengnyong Cave 백룡동굴A cave centre on the gentle route.
