Mindungsan Silver Grass
민둥산
A treeless grassy summit where silver pampas grass sways across the hillside each autumn, ranking among South Korea's five best silver grass spots.
Mindungsan stands at about 1,119 meters above sea level. Roughly 200,000 pyeong of its summit is treeless and covered in silver grass that glitters in the autumn sun, earning it a place among South Korea's five top silver grass destinations. The Mindungsan Silver Grass Festival is held every year in September and October. The hike starts at the trailhead near Jeungsan Middle School and takes about 1.5 to 2 hours up, mostly on gentle slopes. From the top, you get 360-degree views of the Jeongseon mountains. Admission is free. The trailhead is about 1 km from Mindungsan Station and about 15 km from High1. Weekends in autumn draw crowds, so it's best to set out early in the morning.
