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.

Last check before you go
The day before

Check closures, bookings and weather. With large bags, arrange storage and a collection time before setting out.

Before setting out

Recheck last trains, transfers, works and lift availability.

Lift & step-free route

Check the origin, interchange and destination separately. Maintenance can change the route, so ask station staff for day-of help.

First & last train

Times vary by line, direction, weekday, weekend and holiday. For a late trip, verify the last possible interchange too.

The map links named places only. Add your chosen restaurant, performance or rest stop separately. Recheck last trains, works and facility outages with the official operator.

From station to destination

Mudeungsan approach: Jeungsim visitor support center

The subway station is not the trailhead. Search public transport to Jeungsim visitor support center and check the boarding stop, alighting stop and final walk separately.

Check the return bus and subway connection before hiking. In heavy rain or trail closures, remove the hike rather than merely shortening the summit route.

The map searches for a place. Select a walking/transit route and the actual entrance. Check lift operation and continuous step-free access separately with the station.
