Bongjeongam Hermitage (Inje) (봉정암(인제))

Bongjeongam Hermitage, situated at the highest point of Seoraksan Mountain, stands at 1,244 meters above sea level. Due to its elevation, one can witness snow-covered landscapes well into late May. The temple is 10.6 kilometers from the entrance of Baekdamsa Temple and requires 4-5 hours of steep climbing to reach. The view from Bongjeongam Hermitage is breathtaking, but the view of Seoraksan Mountain from the Shrine of Sakyamuni Buddha's Sarira is equally unmissable.
