Yeohangsan is a mountain located in Haman-gun, with an elevation of 770m. In 1583 (16th year of King Seonjo’s reign), Jeong Gu (鄭逑) was appointed as the Hamju Dohobusa (governor) and gave the mountain the name Yeohang (艅航). In terms of geomancy, the topography of Haman is high in the south and low in the north, which means that there is an energy that will betray the country, so the name meaning “low place where ships sail” was given to this mountain located in the south. It is also called Gakdemisan (Gwakdemisan) because when the heavens and the earth were created, water rose to the top of the mountain and only enough space was left to place a gak (a square). It is famous for the clear waters of the valley, the mist covering the mountainside, and the Wonhyoam Hermitage, Chilseonggak, Uisangdae, Seoribong, and Pibawi on the mountainside. During the Korean War, it was the site of fierce battles on the Nakdonggang Defense Line. To the south is Sangyeo Rock, and a little further north is the Bae-jumyeong Ditch, where there is a legend that the boats crossed during Noah's flood. ▪ Backpacking: 2024.03.16. ▪ Temperature: +15℃ ~ 1℃, moderate wind ▪ Course: Jwachon Village public parking lot ~ Course 1 (2.0km), Descent: Course 3 (2.2km) ▪ Gradient: Average of around 10 degrees until the first 3/5 point, average of about 30 degrees at the 2/5 point ▪ Tent pitching: 2 tents per 1p of the summit deck, 10 tents per 1p of the helipad below the summit of Georyusan ▪ Pros: Beautiful sunrise and sunset, no tall mountains around, view of Jirisan in the distance ▪ Cons: The summit is somewhat windy ▪ Main equipment Tent: Backcountry Xanadu 1.5P, 1.5kg (including frame) Backpack: Granite Gear Blaze 60, R, 1.36kg Sleeping bag: SEATOSUMMIT Spark Sp4, 845g (fill power 850+) Air mattress: Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Xtherm NXT MAX RW, 650g (R-value 7.3) #backpacking #nightscape #solocamping #non-fired #charteredcamping #Haman #amneung #georyusan #gyeongnambackpacking #aerialview #camping #dji #sunrise #amneungbackpacking #gyeongnamtravel #backpacking #nightscape #nightview #nightscene #SoloCamping #bpl #aerialview #camping #dji #sunrise #sunset
