About

Gujeolsa Temple is a Buddhist temple located deep within the Sikjangsan Mountain in Okcheon. It was founded in 1393 and was rebuilt in 1933 to its present appearance. The road from the radio tower fork to Gujeolsa Temple in Sikjangsan Mountain’s hiking trails is lush with acacia trees, which are in full bloom in May. Another sight that should not be missed is the fog shrouding the foot of the mountain in spring and fall.
