More than 700 plant species and 800 animal species inhabit the area, and a subtropical forest and a warm-temperate forest coexist, making it very valuable to preserve. The ridge from the Cheonhwangsa Temple site or Baramgyegok Valley to Cheonhwangbong Peak, Gujeongbong Peak, and Dogapsa Temple is the main trail, which takes about six hours.
