About

Discover Mindungsan Mountain in Gangwon-do for a unique natural experience. Known for its vast slopes and breathtaking waves of silver grass, this spot offers gentle trekking suitable for hikers of all levels. While the mountain gets its name from its open landscape, the real magic happens when the eulalia covers the ground in thick, autumnal blooms. Plan your visit for mid-October to witness the iconic, waist-high silver sea. It's a beautiful, accessible hike perfect for nature lovers and families alike.

View original description

Situated in Jeongseon, Gangwon-do, Mindungsan Mountain (1,118.8 meters) is an unusual site when compared to other national peaks. As hinted by its name's meaning "bare mountain," there are few trees near its summit. Locals also refer to it as Eoksaesan (silver grass) Mountain because of the waves of eulalia covering its sides.

The mountain’s gradual slope offers an enjoyable trekking experience for hikers of all levels. In mid-October, waist-high silver grass is indeed everywhere, making it challenging for hikers to view the surrounding areas. Fortunately, certain spots near the peak offer breathtaking views of the gentle ridges and flowing hillsides.
