Duryunsan Provincial Park in detail
Duryunsan Provincial Park: 2–3 hours to the main peak, Garyeonbong Peak (703 m)
The main peak, Garyeonbong Peak (703 m), is at the center. Noseungbong Peak (Neungheodae, 685 m), Dosolbong Peak (672 m), Gogyebong Peak (638 m), Duryunbong Peak (630 m), Yeonhwabong Peak (613 m), Hyangnobong Peak (469 m) and Hyeolmangbong Peak (379 m) link to it along silver grass ridges. The eastern slope is steep and the western slope fairly gentle. The path is not rough, so you reach the top of Garyeonbong Peak in 2–3 hours.
