DAY-OF PLAN
Know the sequence before you go.
Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
01
Start from a named public trailhead
The official guide approaches from the Yeongnam Alps Complex Welcome Center and climbing-center area, then follows about one kilometre of mountain trail. Do not navigate a vehicle to the waterfall coordinate.
02
Follow the signed Hongnyu Falls branch
Confirm the route on the current sign and offline map. A wrong mountain branch can add distance, exposure and a different return.
03
View from the stable public route and turn back early
The roughly 33-metre fall changes with recent rain. Wet rock, high flow, heat, ice, thunder and fading daylight can require an immediate turnaround.
No. Use a named public trailhead and walk the mountain approach; the waterfall coordinate is not a vehicle entrance.
Is the waterfall always full?
No. Flow depends on recent rain, and high water can make the route more dangerous or close it.

Search “울주 홍류폭포” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
Recheck weather, trail or garden closures, last entry and seasonal conditions before departure.
