About Cheontaesan
Cheontaesan stands between Yeongdong and Geumsan. Not high or large, its rocks are scattered in wild disorder, giving a thrilling ridge walk and the nickname Seorak of Chungbuk.
A rope-assisted rock wall is the classic challenge. The mountain holds four Treasures, two local cultural properties and a natural monument, so history lives alongside the scenery.
Rock and trees together make a small mountain of grand scenery.
Worth seeing
