11 GODEOK MOUNTAIN is the closest mountain to Jeonju
and is best known for the Namgo mountain fortress it holds.
Namgosanseong has also been called "Godeok fortress"
or "Gyeon Hwon fortress" because it was built on Godeok
mountain by Gyeon Hwon, King of the Hubaekje Dynasty.
The existing wall was built to defend Jeonju against the
Japanese army. In 1813, the fortress wall was repaired and
it was renamed Namgo fortress. Since then, much of the old
wall has collapsed, but a hiking path around the fortress
remains, and the Namgo Temple resides within the old walls.
The hike begins in front of the Jeonju College of Education,
which is on the way out from Jeonju to Imsil or Namwon and
is approximately 3km round.

12 SEONGSU MOUNTAIN is located in Seongsu Mountain
Natural Recreation Forest, and it is a famous mountain
where the founding folklores of Goryeo and Joseon Dynasty
are intertwined. Legend says that the first king of Joseon, Yi
Seong-gye, prayed at Sangiam Temple at the top of Seongsusan
for 100 days. When you reach the summit, the view is open
and the view is outstanding in all directions. Seongsusan is a
mountain that also suffered during the Korean War.

13 MIREUK MOUNTAIN is the highest mountain on the
Iksan plain. It is a place rich in historical stories and legends
along with many relics and cultural assets such as the
Sikseong Site, Mireuksa Site (pictured), Sazaam, and the Royal
Palace Tower. The KBS relay tower stands at the summit north
peak, and the Honam Plain spreads out. It is not very high, but
the rocky peaks here and there are harmonized with the pine
forest, making it a good family outing course.

14 CHEONGAM MOUNTAIN is a mountain in Gunsan,
located in the direction of the Gunsan airport. It primarily consists
of a walking path that surrounds Gunsan Lake. The area was
originally designated as a water supply source preservation area
in 1963, and access was forbidden until 2009. This led the area
to a stable natural environment for 486 species of life, including
29 species of birds, 419 species of vegetation, and 38 species of
insects. Today, a camping site is also there.
