Standing at 1,708 meters, Daecheongbong is the highest peak of Seoraksan and the third tallest mountain in South Korea, after Hallasan and Jirisan. It serves as the watershed between the inner and outer Seorak regions and is the source of numerous valley streams, surrounded by rare alpine vegetation. Hikers can reach the summit via four main trails, with the shortest route from Osaek taking about four hours.
