Uisangbong Peak (Mudeungsan Area National Geopark)

When looking at the summit from Wonhyosa Temple, the peak rising tall below it is Uisangbong Peak (550m); its top is gentle, but its western slope is a cliff, forming a fine landscape. Uisangbong is composed of micrographic granite from the late Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic Era (about 83 million years ago), and the rock is exposed at the top. At Uisangbong, weathering landforms such as panholes and tors are well observed, and the panholes of Bimajokbawi Rock and Byeorubawi Rock are well known. According to legend, during the Imjin War (1592–1598), the horse hoofprints said to have been made when General Kim Deokryeong, a leader of the righteous army, rode his horse and leaped down at once from the jumping rock of Jiwangbong to here are called Bimajokbawi Rock.
