"Join the masses and hike a mountain" Hiking Tip by itsCharlie

Hiking, Seoul: 3 reviews and 3 photos

 
 

Hiking is definetly a favorite Korean passtime, and it's something that everyone should endulge in at least once while in Korea. The East coast mountains are much larger and more beautiful, but you can easily hike one of the many mountains right in Seoul. It is a day long activity and you'll probably pass out early that night, but it's really not THAT hard if you're in reasonable shape. You'll have to pay a small fee when entereing the park and just follow the crowds from the subway. There are easier climbs for smaller mountains and hills all around seoul. Lights at night make for gorgeous city views.

Equipment: Just a good pair of shoes and dress for the weather of course- it will be colder than in Seoul.. which is nice in the summer.

Address: up
Directions: Good mountains at the west end of line 6 + at the northern end of lines 4,5,7 intersection. But there are smaller mountains scattered all around Seoul and you can bet there's hiking trails on all of them with lights in the evening.
