Five Hiking Courses in Seoul for All Skill Levels

November 27, 2023 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

Seoul isn’t just home to millions of people, it’s also home to many mountains both large and small. Everywhere you look, the skyline of Seoul’s tall buildings is backed by undulating mountain ridges. From the peaks of these mountains, you can see the whole of Seoul unfold before you.
The mountains around Seoul have an average height of 410 meters, making them quite low and easy for hikers of all skill levels. The mountains are also the perfect place to enjoy Korea’s changing seasons. Especially in summer, you can enjoy the cool breeze that blows through the shaded valleys. Another attraction of the mountains is how easily accessible they are via Seoul’s extensive public transit system, with most hiking paths starting just a short walk from subway station exits. To enjoy a bird’s-eye-view of Seoul while in peaceful nature, select one of the courses below, available in various difficulty levels.

Hanyangdoseong, Seoul City Wall (Naksan Section 2.1 km) | Walk through History
1396 to protect Hanseong, the then-capital city of Joseon. Currently, the old city wall in located in the middle of Seoul, and is divided into six sections. Among these, the Naksan Section is the easiest course, and offers stunning nightscape views, making it a popular choice. You can receive a commemorative badge if you walk all six sections of Hanyangdoseong and collect stamps at the designated spots.

Inwangsan Mountain (338.2 m) | Panoramic view of Seoul
Standing atop Inwangsan Mountain is like standing in the middle of Seoul due to its location in Jongno-gu, near the center of the city. The hiking trail even starts from the middle of the city, near Gyeongbokgung Station! The path is well maintained, and is short enough that even the most inexperienced hiker can reach the summit in no time. If you’re visiting with young children or someone who has walking difficulties, the Inwangsan Jarak Trail (2.5 km / 1 hr) that circles the mountain is a great choice.

Cheonggyesan Mountain (618 m) | Stairway to Heaven
Cheonggyesan Mountain is jokingly called “cheongaesan,” a Korean play on words in reference to the thousand (“cheon gae”) stairs you must climb to reach the summit. While there aren’t actually one thousand stairs, the mountain does seem to have an endless supply of them.
Kkalddakgogae Pass in particular was named for the sharp sound of breathing you’ll produce after climbing up the steep staircase here. But if you can make it past that section, the summit will be just before you. During the summer months when it rains often, the sound of water babbling in the valley brook will keep you company.

Gwanaksan Mountain (632 m) | Path of many ups and downs
Gwanaksan Mountain isn’t that large in the grand scale of mountains, but it is quite a strenuous hike, requiring adequate warm-up before starting out. You’ll also want to be equipped with proper hiking boots. The trail begins with a rather flat walk, but quickly leads to repeated ups and downs as you follow the ridge line of this rocky mountain. Preparing gloves or hiking sticks can make your walk easier. If you enjoy an active lifestyle, you may even come to enjoy the roller-coaster-like walk.

Dobongsan Mountain (740 m) | Beautiful stone peaks
Dobongsan Mountain is located on Seoul’s northern side, bordering Uijeongbu and Yangju in Gyeonggi-do. The mountain stands out for its many rocky peaks, ranging from softly rounded to sharp points. While the mountain is smaller than Bukhansan Mountain, the rocky terrain makes it a much more difficult hike. Despite this, hikers often say the hardships at reaching the summit are all but forgotten when they take in the view from the majestic rocky peaks.
