Wolchulsan National Park

Wolchulsan National Park, National park near Yeongam, South Korea.

Wolchulsan National Park is a protected mountain area near Yeongam with steep ridges, rocky formations, and different ecological zones at various elevations. The park contains several hiking routes, with one leading to Cheonhwangbong Peak at around 800 meters elevation.

Wolchulsan was designated a provincial park on 14 March 1973 and became a national park on 11 June 1988, the same day as Byeonsanbando National Park. A park management office opened on 26 November 1988, followed by the Dogap branch office on 1 April 1993. The park holds three national treasures, including Dogapsa Temple (National Treasure No. 50) and the 8.6-metre Wolchulsan Seated Buddha (No. 144).

Dogapsa Temple is South Korean National Treasure No. 50. It was burned down during the Korean War and has not been restored since. The temple sits within Wolchulsan National Park, which also holds the 8.6-metre Wolchulsan Seated Buddha (National Treasure No. 144).

The park is easily accessible from Yeongam, and hiking trails are clearly marked so you can find your way easily. Visitors should expect changing conditions on the paths, especially in higher areas where weather can shift quickly.

The Cloud Bridge (Gureumdari) is a 52-metre suspension bridge hung 120 metres above the valley floor, linking two sections of the ridge trail. It is the park's best-known man-made landmark, and crossing it is the point where hikers feel the exposure of the rock faces most directly.
