    3. Traveler tips

    • Save the Jeungsimsa entrance for this pin; searching only the park name can route you to another side of the mountain.
    • Check the KNPS closure notice and weather before starting a ridge or summit route.
    • Search “무등산국립공원 증심사” in Naver Map or Kakao Map before departure.
    • Recheck current hours, closures, tickets and transport with the operator on the day.
    • The catalogue pin is approximate; use the selected entrance for the final walking route.
