Homyeongsan(632.4m)

 Homyeongsan(632.4m)

Where: Gapyeong-gun

When: December 4, 2024

I took the train to Chuncheon and got off at Sangcheon Station, from where the hike began. After about an hour of moderate ascent, I reached Homyeong Lake. This lake was created for a pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant. Outside of the winter season, there’s bus service available from the station to the lake.

The trail from the lake to the peak of Homyeongsan is not too challenging. The descent offers stunning views of Cheongpyeong Lake. After more than five hours of hiking, I finally arrived at Cheongpyeong Station.

I worked for a financial company in Seoul for many years. One day, I went hiking on Gwanaksan Mountain in Gyeonggi Province, but I only made it halfway up because it was quite challenging for me. This experience inspired me to start exploring more mountains in Korea, including Bukhansan Mountain in Seoul. I fell in love with hiking on weekends and, over the past 30 years, I have hiked many mountains throughout Korea. After retiring several years ago, I began guiding mountain hikes. Whether the mountain is large or small, there are always risks associated with mountaineering. As a mountain guide, I prioritize safety in hiking. If you are interested in hiking, please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to suggest a customized hike that suits your preferences. Email: song.khs@gmail.co m Bukhansan National Park Aw...
