South Korea's Daedunsan mountain in winter

Daedunsan mountain(878m) has reputation of being a superb place to observe both autumn foliage and winter snow.
Daedunsan is a small provincial park located in Jeollabuk-do. Its main draws are its elaborate rocky peaks which protrude high into the sky from the land below. This sets the scene for some breathtaking trips up staircases bolted onto mountain sides and a hair-raising bridge suspended over two peaks.

Daedunsan is easily one of Korea's most dramatic and memorable mountains to climb. Its collection of craggy peaks are joined together by a network of steep and narrow hiking trails set amongst almost impossible rock obstacles such as ravines, pinnacles and huge outcrops.
A cable car hastens the trip to (near) the top, providing stunning vistas of the picturesque and intimidating summit Macheondae 마천대. Once you've disembarked, a torturous route takes you to the top (follow our DDN01 course for the shortest trip to the top), passing through two of the most famous hiking obstacles in the country – the shaky Geumgang bridge and the intimidating Samseon stairway.
And yet, Daedunsan is relatively obscure in Korea, and largely unknown to foreigners - bar long term residents or hiking enthusiasts. This is a crying shame given the fact that Daedunsan is one of the best mountains to visit in the Korea.

It can be little dangerous in winter time especially when snow is falling due to numerous dangerous rock obstacles, the slippery rocky paths, and the Samseon stairway so most people are paying extra attention to where they are putting their feet and so accidents here are few and far between.
On the staircase you can see an awful long way down through the metal grid steps. There are enormous views either side.
