Why go

Gunwi-gun Palgongsan National Park is the Gunwi section of Palgongsan National Park, with hiking trails, scenic ridges, and Buddhist heritage sites — particularly Buinsa Temple (founded around 493 CE). The Gunwi section is less crowded than the Donghwasa or Gatbawi sections, providing a quieter Palgongsan experience. For travelers serious about Palgongsan beyond the famous sections, Gunwi is one of the cleaner specialty single picks. Best as a half-day to full-day hike with proper gear.
