Mudeungsan Is a Choice of Depth, Not a Station Name
Hakdong·Jeungsimsa Station is a transfer gateway, not the trailhead. Take a bus to the Jeungsim district, then choose one of three different days: a short forest program, a temple-centered walk, or a longer mountain route. Check real-time closures, entry-time controls, weather, equipment, and the return bus that morning; turning back early is a successful completion.
