Waterfall to Waterfall Hiking Challenge at Suraksan!

Hello CIKers!

Do you want to escape the summer heat without leaving the city? Let's cool off with a hike to the beautiful waterfalls on Surak mountain and soak our feet in the water during the hike!

Suraksan Cheonmun Falls is a waterfall in Geomundol(Heukseok) Valley. It's like there's a rock between the two rocks
It is called Cheonmun waterfall because it looks like it faces the sky.

[Hike Route]
Pebble Village(빼벌마을)- Heukseok valley - Cheonmun waterfall - Hangrobong-Naewonam temple/Geumryu waterfall - Eunryu waterfall - Okryu waterfall (8km/5hrs)

This hike will take roughly around 5 hours, depending on the speed and ability level of our group. The trail is classified moderately difficult and will cover some steep and rocky terrain, and there are sections involving stairs and metal handrails. So, you must be careful and know your hiking ability. For this hike it is extremely important to wear footwear appropriate for hiking-shoes or boots should be able to grip rocks and prevent you from slipping/falling, since the trails have some steep rocky areas. It should be a fantastic, exhilarating hike, so if you are ready for a challenge, don`t miss this great opportunity!
