Yangsan - Godangbong - Challenging

Service Description

Allow 10–12 hours for this full‑day itinerary. We’ll meet at Myeongnyun Station on Line 1 (Exit 1), then take a 25‑minute bus ride to Yangsan, where the hike begins. From there we follow a ridge line southeast toward Busan along tourist-free trails, with panoramic views almost the entire way. After tagging several peaks over 700 m, we descend through wide reed fields before one final push to Godangbong, the highest peak in Busan at 801 m. After descending from Busan's highest summit, we head to Oncheonjang, one of Korea's historic hot spring districts. Relax tired legs in a traditional Korean sauna before gathering for Korean BBQ at one of our favorite local restaurants—the perfect way to end a day spent exploring Busan's mountains like a local.
