The temple is okay but the hike is amazing! Me and a buddy hiked to all 12 waterfalls. It was a beautiful hike. There are miles and miles of trails out there but the trails to the 12 waterfalls are very well maintained by the city or whoever maintains it. If you are in Pohang, you have to plan a day here. You don’t have to be in great shape to do this hike. Also, there’s a cool little strip of restaurants right outside the temple. We had dinner at “#8”. Super cool ladies there that didn’t speak a word of English and we didn’t speak any Korean but we had a great time there.

Oeosa Temple of Unjesan Mountain

Reviewed By 899jocelynw - Gumi, South Korea

There was some ongoing construction around the temple when we visited so we had to park a good distance away and walk up the road to the temple. It was a nice day for a walk so it wasn't bad. There's a path around the reservoir that we did not take because of time. There's a second part of the temple that is a steep (think stairs) climb. The views were nice from the top and would have been even better if we had gone a couple weeks later when more leaves had changed for the fall. This temple had a tour guide who spoke English very well. He was kind and helpful.
