1 Daewonsa-gil, Samjang-myeon, Sancheong

A nuns' temple tucked deep into the foot of Mt. Jiri. The road in follows a stream, and the walk by the water takes as long as the temple visit. From Yupyeong car park it is about 2km to the temple, with street lamps so you can walk after dark. A 58m bridge crosses in front of the gate. It is a stroll, not a hike, and works in any season.
