It's the tallest mountain (904m) in Chungnam, and made up of strange rocks and cliffs.

Seodaesan (Mt.) is a rocky mountain in the shape of cone made of granite.  It has thick forests and its steepness provides fun in hiking.  On the top, you can see the majestic and gentle mountain range and also Daejeon afar off to the northwest. There are Wonheungsa (Temple), Gaedeoksa (Temple), and many other famous temples and Tangeumdae of Jingnyeo right before the top.  And Jangmyeondae, Bukduchilseong bawi (Big Dipper Rock), Sajagul (Lion Cave), Ssalbawi (Rice Rock) can be seen around the ridge between the top and the peak no. 546 to the north.  Around the 50-meter-long viaduct upon a canyon are fantastic rocks like Shinseonbawi (the immortal of Taoism Rock) and Byeoseulbawi (Government Official Rock), giving a grand view.

To get to Seodaesan (Mt.), there are two ways.  One is going from Majeon on the south of Daejeon to the entrance of Seodaesan (Mt.,) Seongdang-ri, toward Okcheon.  The other is going to the 3-corner crossing at the entrance of Seodaesan, along national road no. 37 from Okcheon to Daejeon. Most of the visitors use Daejeon as a starting point of hiking.
