    MAIN PEAK OF JIRI-SAN CHEONWANG-BONG



    Our accomodation – 400m - Jungsan-ri busstop – 1.3km – Jungsan-ri(vistors center/mountainentrance) – 5.4km – Cheonwang-bong – 1.7km - Jangteonmok shelter – 5.3km – Jungsan-ri(entrance) - 1.7km – our accomodation/circuit trail total distance by 15.8km, 7-9hrs.



    The most popular starting point for Cheonwang-bong is the trailhead at Jungsan-ri in the south-east, from where its only 5.4km to the summit and hikers have the option of a true circuit trail walking the ridge to Jangteomok shelter and down the Jungsan-ri gorge back to the starting point.

    Jungsan-ri is a small but village about 50minutes drive out of Jinju city and has a lot of restaurants and minbak accommodation. The main village where the bus stops looks like the end of the road, but is in fact still over 1.3km from the trailhead – the road continues left through Jungsan-ri and skirt above the village before heading to the national park office(visitors and hiking information center) and trail entrance, Where there are another one restaurant one small convenient store and large carpark. Those coming in on the bus will have to walk up the hill from Jungsan-ri proper, which will add close to another 30minutes onto the hike.(paved road)

    From the upper park entrance the trail begins as a paved road past national park office and information center. Follow this road, crossing a bridge(name is Beopgegyo) over the kalbawi gorge, from where you can a good view of Cheonwang-bong(above). Soon after the bridge the trail leave the road, heading northwest into the forest following the right hand bank of the stream as you climb The first section of the trail is a good easy warmup for the tough ascent to come, you’ll enjoy moderate climbing along the riverside before reaching Kalbawi(knife rock) and the Cheonwang-bong circuit junction shortly thereafter. The junction is where the trails coming down from the high ridge above Jungsan-ri meet.

    The track to the left follows the Kalbawi gorge up to it’s source at Jangteomok shelter. Our summit trail to the right moves away north-west from the gorge, and climbs very steepy for the 2kilometers or so to the Rotary shelter.

    it’s a tough climb on heavy rock, but there are some very good view point over the east and south-east along the way. Rotary shelter is located in the only moderately level section of the trail, where are trail coming from the east (extension of the road the summit trail left earlier) meets the main summit trail.

    It has picnic tables outside and a toilet block. The shelter sleeps around 40, but if you want to stay book only online first! This place gets extremely packed most weekend. “ Rotary shelter – 2km,2hr – Cheonwang-bong” only a hundred meters or so on from Rotary shelter is Beopgye-sa temple, one of Korean’s highest Buddhist temples, the grand gate is on the trail, and it’s worth heading in for a look around before heading up the hill, it has fantastic sweeping views and beautiful fresh water. Beopgye-sa has been around since 1544, from it’s high vantage point it face south eastern part of Jiri-san, emanating the force it take from the Baekdu-daegan ridge to its neighbour across the sea. Legend tells, that if Beopgye-sa prospered, it would defend Japan, so unsurprisingly it has been destroyed a couple of times by invading Japanese parties. on display outside Beopgye-sa’s administration building is a heavy pure iron rod. This was removed from the ridge above the temple in the past decade, and there is a pervading belief amongst Korean’s that rods such as this were drilled into the mountain of Korea by Japanese imperialists in the early 20th century, to stop the flow of energy along the peninsula-whether this is true is up for debate, but it’s an interesting thing to see. The relatively flat ledge around and Beopgye-sa ends soon after leaving the temple, and serious business of getting to the peak begins.

    It’s steep, and fairly unrelenting, but the canopy is low up here and there are frequent and awesome views of to the east. Although only 2km from the shelter, and get’s extremely steep toward over the last 500meters which has traditionally been a scramble over the rock, but in the last couple of years staircases have been introduced to make the going a little bit easier and to cut down on surface erosion. View along the Baeku-daegan ridge from the summit, the first section of which circuit hikers follow to Jangteomok shelter. The trail arrives on the eastern side of the summit and it's a scramble up a rocky pile to the left to the peak.

    You’ll see a sign to Daewon-sa(10.3km), dropping of the peak on your right when arriving. If you want to complete the Jungsan-ri circuit you’ll want to walk past the peak and follow the Baekdu-daegan trail south-west.



    Cheonwang-bong – 1.7km, 50minutes-1hr – Jangteomok shelter

    The trail to Jangteomok heads southwest along the line of the Baekdu-daegan, and if time allows I can highly recommend the 1.7km walk to the gorge trail than heading back the same way. It’s a short walk but don’t be fooled it can easily take more then 1hr to the shelter especially on a busy day, as some sections are single file and slow going-most notably through the Tongcheon-mun natural gate some 500meters from Cheonwang-bong and the climb to Jeseok-bong(1806m) shortly after. This walk though is a beauty, you’re on the highest section of ridge in the land, with awesome views over the high peaks and even to the ocean.

    There are stands of twisted Jumok(tree), the native highland hardwood Yew Tree, and very often you’re above the clouds, Allow time and add this small section to your walk from Jungsan-ri. Jangteomok shelter(right) sleeps about 150 people, but on a good day scores more turn up looking to stay –BOOK ONLINE- if you want a floor space and don’t fancy standing around in the kitchen/toilets or the open air all night. The shelter is on a four way junction with the Baekdu-daegan trail running up to Cheonwang-bong and southwest along the range. The trail to the west heads down to Baekmu-dong entrance and campsite(5.8km). The return trail to Jungsan-ri heads off to the east, right in front of the main door to the shelter it is down this trail a short distance where the fresh water source is located, so you’ll likely see people popping down there to fill up bottles.



    Jangteomok – 5.3km, 2hr-2hr30minutes – Jungsan-ri park entrance

    The spring below the shelter is the headwater of the gorge which the return trail follows down to the junction near Kal-bawi and on to Jungsan-ri unlike the Beopgye-sa trail, the gorge route disappears in to the forest quite early and you’re under canopy for the vast majority of the time except for on occasion when the gorge is crossed at wide rocky area. This is a good trail, but occasionally a little tricky over the rocks which make up the gorge, particularly in winter when there is a lot of ice cover, and in the summer rains, features of the trail are the Yuam and Beopcheon waterfalls, Yuam pokpo is about 1,5km down from Jangteomok, and Beopcheon pokpo roughly 700meter before the Kal-bawi junction.



    cheers

    I prepare in order to your successful Jirisan hiking,
