5. Hiking hours on Hallasan change next month
Cutoff time for starting will be noon

Authorities are adjusting the climbing times on Hallasan Mountain next month, and the new rules will be in force through the end of February.

Climbers on the Eorimok and Youngsil Trails will have to begin by noon, which is two hours earlier than currently. The cutoff times for starting on the Seongpanak and Gwaneumsa Trails will be also noon, and that’s 30 minutes earlier.

Hallasan National Park Office representatives say everyone heading up the mountain must have proper clothing and equipment to stay warm and safe. They are also encouraging people to use public transport to and from the trails.
