5 DAEDUN MOUNTAIN is known as one of
the eight scenic spots in Korea, and is probably
most well-known for its spectacular granite
cliffs and rock formations around Macheondae,
its highest peak. The orange Geumgang Cloud
Bridge is equally well-known and spans 50m
long, floating 70m a narrow canyon between
Provincial
two rock formations.
Parks
The Bridge leads onward
to a Cloud Stairway, just 1m wide, that sways
slightly under the single-file footsteps of
those brave enough to ascend it.
The hike from the Jeollabuk-do is relatively
steep and will take a bit longer (4-5 hours)
than a similarly sized mountain, like
Moaksan. However, there is also a cable car
up to the Cloud Bridge that visitors can use
if they wish. On the Nonsan (northern) side
of the mountain, the trail in is flat for a
while leading up to some waterfalls, and
from there the climb becomes almost
entirely stair climbing.

The mountain belongs to the "Old
Mountain Range" with much of the
vegetation standing over 600m in
height. Its deep forests, unique rock
formations, and varied vegetation make
Daedunsan a top tourist destination
year-round, but particularly in the fall
its leaves turn colors.
