Besides its fame for housing Beopju-sa temple,
Songni-san National Park also contains some of the most stunning scenery in central Korea.
Several hiking trails cut through the park, with the most popular leading up to
Ch'unhwang-bong peak (1058 m).
A large area of the park lies inside North Gyeongsang Province, although the North Chungcheong
side has most of the most hiking trails. The park also contains Yonghwa Hot Springs
and Gakyeon-sa temple.
