Korea Seoraksan Gwongeumseong Fortress 雪嶽山權金城 (설악산 권금성) Hike - Fall Foliage
Video clips from my hike from the cable car station to the peak -Gwongeumseong Fortress 權金城 권금성 and then back to the cable car station at Seoraksan Natonal Park
This is definitely the highlight part of my entire trip to Seoraksan National Park, featuring lots of fanstastic views of fall foliage plus the interesting stones at the peak!
Gwongeumseong Fortress is the site of a castle ruins located on Seoraksan Mountain, and it is also known as Mt. Onggeumsan Castle, or Toto Castle. It is located on the steep Dolsan Mountain of Seoraksan Sogongwon area. It is believed to have been built by the 23rd King of the Goryeo Period (918-1392), Gojong (r. 1213-1259). It is also called Gwon-Kim Castle, as there is a legend that two generals named Gwon and Kim, built the castle to avoid war.

Mount Seorak - Ride Cable Car | Korea Trip #3 Cherry Blossom
Welcome to my new Vlog in Seoul. One of Korea Tourist Attraction is visiting Mount Seorak. I will ride cable car and watch cherry blossom in autumn
Mount Seorak (Seoraksan) also referred to as Seolsan and Seolbongsan, the mountain was named Seorak ('Seol' meaning 'snow' and 'Ak' meaning 'big mountain') because the snow would not melt for a long time keeping the rocks in a permanent state of white.
The park is spread across 4 cities and counties: Sokcho, Inje, Goseong and Yangyang. The highest peak is Daecheongbong; to the east is OeSeorak and to the west is NaeSeorak, which is divided again into North NaeSeorak and South NaeSeorak. North NaeSeorak is composed of Bukcheon, which flows to Ingyecheon and Baekdamcheon streams. There are numerous valleys in NaeSeorak. Follow the Baekdamcheon valley where all the streams meet and you will reach Baekdamsa Temple, which is known for its beautiful scenery. Upstream there is Gayadong valley and Suryeomdong valley, and past Yeongsiam and Mangyeongdae there is Madeungryeong ridge (1,327m) that leads to Seorakdong.
Riding up and down the cable car, visitors can view the fascinating rock formations of the Gwongeumseong region as well as the Sogongwon area, Jeohangnyeong, and Ulsanbawi Rock to the north. To the northeast, downtown Sokcho and the East Sea comes into view.
After getting off the cable car, visitors can take a 20 to 30 minute hike to Gwongeumseong to get a birds-eye-view of Oe-Serok. The cable car ascends at a relatively high speed with some excitement

Wisata Korea Selatan: Seoraksan National Park - Gwongeumseong
Ini pertama kalinya saya melihat salju :)
설악산 권금성 (雪岳山 權金城 Gwongeumseong Fortress in Seoraksan Mountain, South Korea )
강원도 속초시 설악동에 있는 고려시대의 산성.
둘레 약 3,500m. 일명 설악산성이라고도 하는데, 현재 성벽은 거의 허물어졌으며 터만 남아 있다.
둘레 약 3,500m. 일명 설악산성(雪嶽山城)이라고도 하는데, 현재 성벽은 거의 허물어졌으며 터만 남아 있다. 이 산성은 설악산의 주봉인 대청봉에서 북쪽으로 뻗은 화채능선 정상부와 북쪽 산 끝을 에워싸고 있는 천연의 암벽 요새지이다.
이 산성의 정확한 초축연대는 확인할 수 없으나, 『세종실록』 지리지에는 옹금산석성(擁金山石城)이라고 기록되어 있고 둘레가 1,980보라고 되어 있으나, 『신증동국여지승람』에는 권금성이라 하고 권(權)·김(金)의 두 가지 성을 가진 사람들이 이곳에서 난리를 피하였으므로 붙여진 이름이라는 전설을 소개하고 있다.
한편, 『낙산사기(洛山寺記)』를 인용하여 고려 말 몽고가 침입했을 때에 인근 주민들이 이곳에 성을 쌓고 피란했다고 설명하고 있음에서 고려 말기 이전부터 존속해오던 산성임을 알 수 있다.
성의 대부분은 자연암벽을 이용하고 일부는 할석으로 쌓았는데, 인근의 토왕성(土王城)과 규모가 비슷하다. 좌우로 작은 계곡을 이루며 물이 흐르므로 입보농성(入保籠城)에 알맞은 산성이다.
그러나 너무 높은 위치여서 오르내리기에 큰 힘이 들었으므로 조선 시대 이후로는 차츰 퇴락하여 지금은 흔적만 남아 있다. 그러나 성의 좌우 골짜기에 경관이 좋은 토왕성폭포 등이 있고 케이블카가 설치되어 있어 쉽게 오를 수 있는 관광지로 개발되어 있다

Prepare to step into a world of forested beauty when you arrive at Seoraksan National Park.
Located in Gangwon-do, South Korea, Seoraksan National Park tours are popular with both residents of Korea and international travelers. It is a frequent destination for those staying in nearby Sokcho, a city renowned for its natural hot springs and mountainous surroundings. Seoraksan National Park’s 63 square miles are largely untouched by humans, so it’s easy to immerse yourself in the quiet beauty of nature.
Your Seoraksan National Park sightseeing begins at the park gates, where a towering bronze statue of Buddha awaits you. Take some pictures or place an offering at his feet, and then head into the park proper. It invites you to spend hours wandering along the many paths that wind through the park, crossing streams and winding beneath a canopy that might be thick with green or red leaves, depending on the season. You can even take a gondola ride to the top of the mountain. From the gondola—which is enclosed and climate-controlled—you can see all of Seoraksan National Park, so this is the place to grab some of those gorgeous landscape pictures to post on your social media.
What is your favorite memory of Seoraksan National Park?

BEAUTIFUL Seoraksan National Park, KOREA (WeWillNomad)
The Seoraksan National Park is both immense in its beauty and size! With a reserve area of 163.6 square kilometres, it was the first Korean national park to be named under the National Park Law in 1970.
There are numerous trails and paths throughout the park of varying distance and difficulty, so you will definitely find something suitable to enjoy. If you are not up for hiking, you can walk around the lower park area to see the enormous Bronze Statue of Seated Buddha and the Sinheungsa Temple or even just relax with a meal, snack or drink at one the restaurants. You can also take the Seoraksan Cable Car up to Gwongeumseong Fortress Station, but note that from there you still need to climb a fair number of stairs to the actual Fortress.
Depending on the time of year and weather conditions, certain areas and trails may be off-limits to the public, so check the online information before you go. If you really want to make the most of this area, you can easily spend multiple days hiking!
We started by taking the Cable Car up to Gwongeumseong Fortress. The ride itself is very quick and not very exciting. From the top station, you follow a stepped path up to the actual Fortress which is really not much more than a few stacked rocks, so don't have high expectations of that. The view however from this area is absolutely stunning! You can walk around quite freely on the large rocks and look out at the sea to the one side and towards Ulsanbawi Rock on the other side. One can easily while away more time than expected in this small area!
From the top station, there is another path leading downwards towards Anlakam Hermitage. Although it is not far, we really didn't find it worthwhile and would recommend spending your time elsewhere in the park.
After returning by Cable Car (there is no alternative way down!), we set off along the Biseondae Hiking Route. The route is only 3km long and they suggest that it will take just under 1 hour. NOTE that all route designations are ONE WAY and you will still need to return! The route was a fairly comfortable and easy hike and mostly shaded by large trees. As the route winds alongside a rocky river, there are a few places where you can make your way into the river to cool down in the crystal clear rock pools or picnic on a big rock as we managed to do. Once you reach the small suspension bridge at the very impressive Biseondae Rock, you will have the choice of either returning of continuing for a further 600m (estimated additional 1-hour hike one way) up continuous and strenuous steps to the Geumgangguk Grotto.
It was getting late so we did not continue but rather chose to watch a few crazy climbers scaling vertical rock faces and then we made our way back to lower ground to visit the Bronze Statue of Seated Buddha and Sinheungsa Temple before catching a bus back to Sokcho.

Fall in Seoraksan (part 1)
This is my hike up Mt. Seorak. Seoraksan is the highest mountain in the Taebaek mountain range (태백산맥) in the Gangwon province in eastern South Korea. The Daechongbong Peak (대청봉) of Seoraksan reaches 1,708 metres (5,603 feet).
This hike was 14 km, and took about 5hrs to complete. I stayed overnight in a shelter at Sochongbong peak. I also visited a temple during my time on the mountain.

Gwongeumseong Fortress is the site of a castle ruins located on Seoraksan Mountain, and it is also known as Mt. Onggeumsan Castle, or Toto Castle. It is located on the steep Dolsan Mountain of Seoraksan Sogongwon area. It is believed to have been built by the 23rd King of the Goryeo Period (918-1392), Gojong (r. 1213-1259). It is also called Gwon-Kim Castle, as there is a legend that two generals named Gwon and Kim, built the castle to avoid war.
At the left side of Sogongwon, past the Biryonggyo Bridge over the ravine, there is a path which leads to Gwongeumseong Castle, but it takes over an hour of travel through a steep, rocky path (2.5km), so cable car is used. The cable car was installed by Dr. Gi-Sup Lee in 1971 and is still used by many tourists. It runs from 7 a.m. to 6 or 6:30 p.m., departing every 7 minutes, and you can only purchase round-trip tickets at the ticket counter for that day.
