Accidentally Climbed a Mountain, Had the Time of My Life

#summervacay So Oseosan wasn’t even on my radar. I just saw a sign, had time to kill, and thought “why not?” Next thing I know, I’m halfway up a mountain, mildly sweating and extremely impressed. It’s in Chungcheongnam-do, kind of lowkey, but seriously worth the climb. The hike isn’t brutal, but it does make you work a bit, just enough to earn your snack break at the top. The views though? Total stunner. Ocean on one side, mountains on the other, wind in your face like nature’s high-five. There were barely any other people around, which made it feel super personal, just me, the trees, and a random dog I saw halfway up (no idea where it came from, but it looked like it knew the trail better than I did). Zero regrets. It’s one of those places you randomly end up at and then talk about for weeks. If you’re anywhere near the area, Oseosan is 100% worth the detour.
