About Sinbulsan
Sinbulsan rises in Ulju, Ulsan, among the Yeongnam Alps — Gajisan, Ganwolsan, Chwiseosan, Cheonhwangsan and Unmunsan around it. With Ganwolsan it became a county park in 1983, and a natural recreation forest opened in 1998.
Between Ganwolsan and Sinbulsan the west side holds a gentle summit plateau of wide silver-grass ridges, one of the best-known autumn walks in the region; granite valleys below run with clear water.
A long fault line runs north–south along its eastern foot.
