Inspection of Trails within the National Park

Hamyang County visited Samjeongsan, one of the 15 famous mountains included in the mountain climbing certification project 'Orle GO Hamyang', to inspect the trails and facilities within the national park.


This visit was attended by eight people, including County Governor Jin Byeongyeong and Kim Jongsik, Director of the Gyeongnam Office of the Jirisan National Park Authority. They gained insights into the operation of trails and facilities managed by the Jirisan National Park Authority and used the opportunity to benchmark the management direction of the 'Orle GO Hamyang' project.

Hamyang County and the Jirisan National Park Authority established a cooperative system in January to successfully promote the 'Orle GO Hamyang' project and revitalize forest tourism, and have continued to communicate since then. As a result, they achieved outcomes such as expanding access to the Chilseon Valley trail and supporting the Jirisan area trails for 'Orle GO Hamyang'. During the on-site meeting, various discussions were held on the maintenance and opening plans for the Uijung?Chuseong trail section in Macheon-myeon.


Samjeongsan, together with Wabul Mountain, had been closed to visitors by the authority for wildfire prevention since January 1, but was reopened on May 1. Since the reopening, more than 1,150 certifications have been recorded as participants in 'Orle GO Hamyang' flocked to the mountain. In particular, the 'Chil Hermitage Pilgrimage Trail', which connects Dosolam, Yeongwonsa, Sangmujuam, Munsuam, Sambulsa, Yaksuam, and Silsangsa, is a popular hiking course frequently visited by hikers along with 'Orle GO Hamyang'.


An official from Hamyang County stated, "We will continue to consult with the Jirisan National Park Authority to support safe hiking for visitors on the Jirisan area trails, which are among the 15 famous mountains of 'Orle GO Hamyang'." The official added, "We will actively learn from the experience and know-how of the Jirisan National Park Authority in trail maintenance and facility management to ensure that participants in 'Orle GO Hamyang' can enjoy safer and more comfortable hiking experiences."
