About Seodaesan
Seodaesan stands alone on the border of Geumsan and Okcheon, the highest mountain in South Chungcheong. Joseon records treat it as the deep mountain of Geumsan, with three temples once on its slopes.
Rock peaks and green forest make a strong, steady outline. Dragon Rock, Immortal Rock, General Rock, Madang Rock and Seodae Falls lie along several trails, and from the granite summit Daejeon, Okcheon and Geumsan spread below.
Geumsan’s ginseng market and the Busodamak cliffs on Daecheong Lake are nearby.
Worth seeing
