Climbing Deokyu Mountain

Hubby and I were on a hunt for some snow flowers so last Saturday we went to Muju in Jeollabuk province. Our destination… Deokyu Mountain. Here are some of our pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We used a cable car going up to a certain height of the mountain and climbed up to the peak of the mountain for about twenty minutes on foot.

Descending from the mountain which has a height of 1,614 meters was really difficult. I slipped for countless times while climbing down stepping on a thickly snow covered trail that took almost two hours. We reached one Buddhist temple and from there, we had another one and a half hours of trekking!

There was I on one of the countless times that I slipped and fell.

Some really cool people went for skiing.

 

 

It was a very tiring but really worthwhile trip. I have climbed mountains several times before but this was first time for me to experience climbing a snowy mountain. It’s really fulfilling.

Of course, after all the hardships we went through, we treated ourselves with some special food before leaving the place.

Our sumptuous meal (dwenjang jiggae and lots of side dishes)

Hubby and I are planning for another mountain climbing this February. Hopefully it will be Taebaek Mt. which hubby said is easier than Deokyu Mt.

P.S. These are hardly earned pictures. I hope you like them!
