Sobaeksan National Park, National park across North Gyeongsang and North Chungcheong, South Korea.

The park spans 322 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, featuring Birobong Peak at an elevation of 1,439 meters above sea level.

The Korean government established Sobaeksan as the country's eighteenth national park in December 1987 to protect its natural resources.

Traditional Korean temples within the park boundaries reflect the spiritual connection between mountain landscapes and Buddhist practices.

Multiple visitor centers provide maps of hiking trails, seasonal weather information, and guidance for exploring different sections of the park.

The park serves as a sanctuary for 1,067 plant species and 2,639 animal species, including a population of reintroduced Korean foxes.
