Hiking Mt. Naeyeon on a Refreshing Autumn Day

Many people describe Naeyeon Mountain as a good place to hike in summer. That's mainly because of cool shadow from trees.

However, autumn with colorful leaves is also great to enjoy. Harmony of colorful leaves and 12 waterfalls are excellent to feel the flavor of autumn.

I visited Naeyeon Mountain and enjoyed the refreshing autumn breeze.

We can never judge the taste before tasting. Persimmons are often bitter despite its tasty color.

The trail begins at Bogyeong Temple. The narrow waterway along the wall of Bogyeong Temple never dries even in drought.

Naeyeon Mountain used to be called Jongnam Mountain. The name changed during Queen Jinsung's era during Silla Dynasty.
The tale says that Queen Jinsung bestowed the name of the mountain after the evacuation of the rebels.
The scenery around Bogyeong Temple in the green mountain is like a beautiful work of art.

Bulged earthenwares are gathered in the front yard.
The taste of paste fermented in it will deepen as autumn colors deepen.

Fully feel the flavor of autumn at Naeyeon Mountain trail. The trail adorned with red and yellow leaves makes visitors relax.

It flows quietly as twilight falls. Time seems to pass slowly due to the shape of the mountain. Though it is not that high.

It satisfies both hikers who found themselves adorning the beautiful scenery.

Marvelous waterfalls reveal themselves as hikers walk deeper into the forest. Among them, Gwaneum Falls and Yeonsan Falls are the most beloved falls. What are the reasons for that?

Let’s take a look to find out why. Water falling between the cliffs and the cave and the viaduct like cloud up in the sky!

The scenery was awesome which seems like a paradise.

I went up to viaduct over the falls. The scenery of rocky cliff before my eyes was marvelous.
I couldn't leave the viaduct because I was awestruck by the magnificent scenery of nature. The camera couldn't hold all the giant cliff. All you need is to just enjoy with your bare eyes and paint in your heart.

Yeonsan Falls with sonorous sound of waterfall reveals itself when crossing the viaduct. How can the sound of the waterfall is so sonorous at height of 30 meters and a width of 40 meters? People who love sonorous sound of waterfalls say that Yeonsan Falls is much better than Gwaneum Falls.

Comparing the different characteristics of these unique falls while walking along Naeyeon Mountain trail, can be a way to enjoy hiking. Two hours is enough to complete the course from Bogyeong Temple to Yeonsan Falls.
