Destination briefing
Why travelers stop here
Named for its mane-like shape resembling a horse's mane, Galgi Mountain stands at 585 meters above sea level and is part of the Yangsan Eight Scenic Spots. Its rugged terrain features numerous rocky cliffs, making it popular among climbers who enjoy rock climbing. The semi-circular main ridge forms a deep central valley, and the cliffs stretching left and right along the ridge offer the thrill of rock hiking. From the summit, you can overlook the Geumgang River, which flows cool and gently around the mountain's base.
