Mount Sorak is the third highest mountain in the country, with the main peak (Daechung) at 1,708 meters above sea level. Situated on the east coast of the Korean Peninsula in the Taebaek Mountain range, it is composed of dissected granite and gneiss, with rocky hills and ridges. It is also home to the Asian black bear.
The main activities here are hiking, camping and climbing. It is a favorite local hot spot, visited by many, from honeymooners to schoolchildren accompanied by their teachers. Take a short cable-car ride and a short hike to the peak for a breathtaking panoramic view of the surroundings.
Caution: There are no barricades at the peak. There is a longstanding local rumour circulating: it is said that estranged couples wishing to part would visit the peak, and while taking pictures, the spouse holding the camara would ask the partner to move backwards, till eventually the latter falls over the edge. *oops*
