Most photogenic Woraksan climb
Sinleugsa – Weolak-san Yeongbong – Bodeog-Am
6 h: 9 km 1000 m up over 1108 m 1000 m down (3.8 h moving)
Traversing through nice views of rocky peaks and views to the Namhangang river,
Two temples on the way
There are two small temples on the route (Sinleugsa and Bodeog-Am (보덕암)).
An alternative hike is the other way around (from Bodeog-Am) and to the west to a bigger temple Deogjusa (덕주사) (best at evening).
Unreliable buses
Buses to get back were unreliable. Two of them just didn't come at all so we had to take a taxi. Decide on the price in advance not to overpay. Naver maps estimate the price.
Main traverse in Woraksan: Weolak-san Yeongbong
Morning climb to Jebibong pines
4.7 km 590 m up over 745 m 590 m down (2 h moving)
Spectacular morning views of misty lake over photogenic pines.
Start before sunrise to get best views.
Climbing to the top is worth but the beset views are in the middle.
Return the same way or traverse.
Steep but easy.
What's nearby:
All views of the Namhangang river and Ok-soon bridge are nice.
There is also another short trek close to the bridge.

Maps and accommodation
Naver map is must to efficiently move around. Google maps doesn't provide driving directions, only public transportation. There are also tourist trails with photos similar to street view on the main treks.
There is even more in the Naver maps if you let Google translate it for you on the web, but to book an accommodation or order a taxi, you'd need to have a local ID, so for most it's probably just to survey prices.
Mapy.cz are best offline for trekking.
