About
Cheongoksan stands 1,277 m high, to the southeast of the Mangyeongdae summit on Taebaeksan. It lies in a remote, rugged area where nine peaks over 1,000 m are found around Taebaeksan. A hiking trail follows the ridge from Neutjae in Socheon-myeon to Mangyeongdae.
The surrounding area is designated as the Cheongoksan Natural Recreation Forest, with a water play area, a fitness area, cabins, a campground and a campfire area. On the mountainside you can find Hongjesa Temple, and the Gojeongye Valley runs alongside as a deep old-growth forest valley.
The 12 km Baekcheon Valley is part of the upper Nakdong River and is known as the southernmost habitat of lenok in the world.
