View from atop Gubong-san, facing south away from the city.
Any, or all, of 5 mountains designated by Daejeon tourism amongst the city's eight most popular sites:
Mt. Sikjangsan (southeast)
Mt. Bomunsan (south)
Mt. Gubongsan (southwest)
Mt. Jangtaensan (south)
Mt. Gyejoksan (northeast)
Most have either a typical Korean gazebo at the top or a historic fortress wall, or often both. Jangtaesan has a treetop walkway. Springs offering drinking water are marked on the local maps. To find the start of the myriad hiking trails, a good rule of thumb is to look for burial mounds on the hills, as they are often lurking just behind them. Once on the trail, trail marking and intersection signposting is really good, but the actual start point locations are almost never announced.
