Geumosan Provincial Park

This description was machine-translated from the Korea Tourism Organization's Korean original.

Geumosan is a mountain rising on a spur of the Sobaeksan Mountain Range. Designated a provincial park in 1970 and equipped with tourist facilities, the mountain is made entirely of rock, with many steep slopes of oddly shaped rock cliffs, and a cable car is installed from the foot of the mountain to the waterfall. Long regarded as one of the Eight Scenic Views of Yeongnam, near the summit is Yaksaam Hermitage, and on the northern mid-slope are Myeonggeum Falls, 38 m high, and Haeunsa Temple, said to have been founded by the Silla monk Doseon. There are also Doseongul Cave, a rock-carved standing bodhisattva statue, and more. The cable car installed from a point above the entrance going up the mountain past Chaemijeong Pavilion to beside Haeunsa Temple offers great convenience to visitors. With decking and stairs in place, it is also good for a light stroll, and with the cable car installed the mountain is easily accessible even for the elderly and the infirm, and the hiking courses are well developed.
