Taebaeksan is a 1,567 m mountain on the border of Bonghwa and Taebaek in North Gyeongsang Province and Yeongwol in Gangwon Province. It is the source of the Nakdong River, the Han River, and the Osipcheon River. Its summit, Cheondan Altar, is surrounded by Janggunbong, Munsubong, and Bucheobong peaks, and its gentle slopes make it accessible to hikers of all ages. Rhododendrons bloom in spring, and in winter the summit's yew trees are covered in snow. The mountain was designated a provincial park on May 13, 1989, and it is home to the Coal Museum and a winter sledding area.
