Heundeulbawi

On the way to Ulsanbawi, there are two temples and a spherical rock (Heundeulbawi) which is located on the top of a larger rock. This rock is about 5 meters high and can be moved with some effort. Thousands of people have already tried to push down Heundeulbawi, but nobody gets further than waggling the rock.



Seorak Cable Car

The Seorak Cable Car goes from the park entrance area to near the top of a mountain called Kwongumsong. From the upper cable car station a trail leads on up to the top of the mountain. Another trail goes left from the cable car station to Allak Temple, which has a commanding view of the valley below and the East Sea.
