Hiking Moaksan Mountain: A Day Trip and Makgeolli Ending

September 4, 2025
Moaksan Mountain after a long time!
I took a bus, got off at the Provincial Art Museum, reached the peak, and descended towards Geumsansa Temple. Then, I had makgeolli and took the bus back.
I chose the Geumsansa Temple route because there are many decks, making the descent easier.
I thought I wouldn't find Moaksan Mountain difficult since I've been there a few times, but...
Maybe it's because I always take the Geumsansa Temple route, or because it's been a while since I went towards the Art Museum, but it was quite tough.
Or maybe my hiking skills have deteriorated, or the weather was just too hot.
Rabbit and young tree at Daewonsa Temple.
Last year, while resting at Daewonsa Temple and eating a pear, I gave some to it.
It came running so aggressively that it scared me.
I don't know if it's the same rabbit, but it felt like it.
My friend packed melon for me - yum!
It was so delicious.
The Art Museum side has a lot more decks than it used to.
Unlike the worn-out Gimje side, the Wanju side decks look brand new.
Does the county have a bigger budget than the city?
The clouds were pretty today.
Reached the summit!
It rained a lot the day before or the day before that, so there's a lot of water.
Makgeolli ending - so delicious!
I didn't realize it when I walked in, but
We ate here last winter during the Geumsansa Temple stay too!
Apparently, it's a Deodeok (lanceolata) set menu 맛집! I should try that next time.
