Peace Walk Mt. Jirisan: A Path of Life-Peace That Deepens with Every Step

We invite you to join a pilgrimage journey that connects the villages, forests, and people of Jirisan.

📖 What Is Jirisan Pilgrimage Trail?

Jirisan Pilgrimage Trail is not a path to conquer a summit.

Instead, it is a path of life-peace that follows the villages and ancient roads surrounding Jirisan Mountain.

In 2004, during the Life and Peace Alms Pilgrimage led by Venerable Dobup,

a question began to emerge:

“What if there were a path that could reconnect people and local communities?”

That vision eventually took form in 2007 as the “Jirisan Pilgrimage Trail and Dulle-gil.”

Stretching over 270 kilometers, it became Korea’s first “Dulle-gil” trail model. For this reason, the Jirisan Pilgrimage Trail is far more than a scenic trekking course. It is a living path infused with the philosophy of life and peace, and with the stories of local communities who have lived alongside the mountain for generations.

🌄 “Jirisan is not simply a mountain — it is an ecological and cultural community.”

Through regular pilgrimage walks, take time to encounter nature, local people, and ultimately, yourself.

As we walk,

we begin to breathe more slowly,

feel more deeply connected,

and discover a more peaceful direction for our lives.
