Birobong is the main peak of Odaesan National Park, at 1,563 metres. Odaesan takes its name from the five peaks that surround it. The classic route begins at the Sangwonsa car park and climbs about 3.4 km to the summit via Jeokmyeol Bogung. The one-way trip takes about 2–2.5 hours, and the final section has steep stone steps. Fit hikers can continue on a loop of about 12 km via Sangwangbong. The summit has broad views, and winter rime frost and snowscapes make it a popular winter climb in Korea. Entry to the national park is free. In winter, you need crampons, and some routes close during fire season.
