About Yumyeongsan
Yumyeongsan lies on the border of Gapyeong and Yangpyeong. Its ridges are gentle and soft, a good family climb under thick forest.
Its valley links glass-clear pools — Yongso, Madangso and more — over rock. From the top the North Han River and Cheongpyeong Lake lie to the north, the South Han River to the south, with Yongmunsan, Hwaaksan and Myeongjisan around.
The open, grassy summit is a popular paragliding launch; three rocks near the top are called the Three Brothers.
