  • Introduction
  • Seokbyeongsan Mountain is located on the boundary between Sanggyeri in Okgye-myeon, Gangneung-si, and Jigwon-ri in Imgye-myeon, Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province. It lies along the Taebaek Mountain Range. To the north of Seokbyeongsan is Duribong Peak, while to the south lie Jabyeongsan Mountain and Baekbokryeong Pass. The southern area of Seokbyeongsan features karst topography, with nearby attractions such as Seokhwa Cave, stone caves, and a cement quarry.
  • Tourist Guide
  • Seokbyeongsan Mountain, spanning Imgye-myeon in Jeongseon-gun and Okgye-myeon in Gangneung-si, boasts a height of 1,055 meters. The mountain is characterized by unique rock cliffs that resemble folding screens and its grand scale. Formed primarily of gypsum rock, it contains numerous caves, and although Beombawigol Valley is the main valley, no water flows through it. Additionally, when ascending along Jeongeori Valley, visitors will find a wide field and a spring where water emerges. The summit of Seokbyeongsan consists of two white rock peaks; the northern side forms a sheer cliff, and the rock ridge extends toward the northeast.
  • Travel Tips
  • The magnificent rock formations and natural scenery of Seokbyeongsan attract many visitors. For those who wish to hike the mountain using a relatively easy course, it is recommended to start from Baekbongnyeong Pass, pass through Seokbyeongsan, and continue to Sapdapnyeong Pass. At Baekbongnyeong and the ridge near Peak 834, there is space large enough to accommodate several large buses. However, Sapdangnyeong Pass can barely accommodate one large bus, so please plan your route carefully. Visitors can enjoy refreshing mountain breezes at Seokbyeongsan, and the summit is composed of three modest-sized rock peaks. Beneath the central peak is a rock cave that has been blocked with stones due to candles lit for ritual prayers. Throughout both the ascent and descent, hikers can enjoy beautiful wildflowers and azaleas. However, since the area is less frequented by hikers, extra caution is required during summer as you may need to pass through vine-covered areas and thorny vegetation. Also, if you continue heading north after reaching the triangulation point on Seokbyeongsan, you may deviate from the main ridge trail. Therefore, to reach Duribong Peak, you must return to the triangulation point and follow the signs heading west.
