Hiking Oknyubong at Chunggye Mountain

My husband asked me to go to Chunggye Mountain(청계산).

I was told that the Wonteogol to Oknyubong (원터골~옥녀봉) was an easy route, and then I found a sign saying it was 1,750m away from Oknyubong. Wait. He said it was a low hill.

Going up the rock stairs and wooden stairs made me realize that I was going to have a tough morning. But then, after a while, there were dirt paths and Oknyubong. Are we already there? Well, it said 375m. Oh, I confused the distance and the elevation.

It was much easier than the Bookhan Mountain Bogukmun route (북한산 보국문).

Today’s route is good for a day when I feel like going for a light hike.
