#Hiking #SeoulHiking #HikingCourse #Gwanaksan #GwanaksanYeonjudae 🥾 Recommended Gwanaksan hiking course where you can enjoy a refreshing hike while looking at the view of Seoul and Gwacheon 💚 📍Gwanaksan Yeonjudae: 62 Jahadong-gil, Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do 🏞️ I would like to introduce 'Gwanaksan Yeonjudae' as a Gwanaksan hiking course with a romantic view of the crowded downtown area of ​​Seoul and the new city of Gwacheon! 🏙️It is a hiking course famous for its great view, and it is an impressive course with an exquisite harmony of the outstanding natural beauty and the city view! I recommend you to hike on the weekend while enjoying the cool and clean mountain air and the city view! 💚

📍Seoul Gwanak-gu Sillim-dong San 27-1 Gwanaksan Natural Park Departure The Gwanaksan Mannam Square area has a pretty road and is great for a light walk. Before starting the hike in earnest, I looked around here and there, and the stream water was flowing, and the waves were so pretty, and the trees and wild flowers were all pretty! It's full of phytoncide 💚 There are several restrooms below, but there are fewer as you go up. Be sure to go to the restroom beforehand! - There are a total of 12 flagpole peaks in Gwanaksan. I went to one of them, flagpole peak on Gitdaebong. 📍(13:40 Departure) Gwanaksan Natural Park - Turtle Rock - Flagpole on Gitdaebong - Mannam Square on Natural Park (17:30 Arrival) It took about 4 hours! I went to the place that comes up when you search for flagpole on the map app. ! That was the flagpole of Gitdaebong :) 🚘Parking is at Gwanaksan Park (paid) ✔️The Gwanaksan Park hiking course definitely felt well-managed. The path was easy to walk overall, and even the signposts were well-made! I especially liked the refreshing and clear Gwanaksan. ✨This is a course that even beginners can easily climb, so I recommend it to those who want to take a picture of the flagpole ♥ - Please note that it can be dangerous to climb up to the rock where the flagpole is on a windy day - #TouristAttractionReview #Gwanaksan #SeoulTravel #SeoulHiking #Gitdaebong #Gukgibong #PlacesToVisitInSeoul #SeoulDate

The Korean peninsula is famous for its mountainous terrain, and Seoul, the capital of South Korea, also has many mountains. Among the many mountains, I will introduce a mountain that is easy to climb and has a moderate level of difficulty. Let's go! It's Gwanaksan! There is a hiking trail that you can climb from Sadang Station or Seoul National University Entrance. It usually takes 3~4 hours to climb. Although Gwanaksan is a rugged mountain, the facilities are well-installed, so there are many sections where you have to climb stairs. You can start the hike with a light heart. When I visited, it was early November, so the weather was nice and the leaves hadn't fallen yet. I think it would have been better if I had visited during the peak of autumn~ After coming down, I had a glass of beer with jajangmyeon. If you come down toward Sadang Station, there seem to be more restaurants to enjoy, so it would be good to go down there. #SeoulTravel #FallFoliageViewing

This is Seoul Gwanaksan where you can see the whole view of Seoul at a glance! It is a mountain with an easy hiking difficulty, so it is good for people of all ages to hike without any burden! If you go up to the observatory, you can see Yeouido, Lotte Tower, and other Seoul at a glance! I highly recommend it at least once because you can actively climb rocks while healing in the forest! #HotPlace #Hiking #Seoul #SeoulTravel

#sustainabletravel #carbonfootprint #treadmilltravel 📍Gyeonggi-do, Gwacheon-si, Jungang-dong, Gwanaksan 🚎 Take a bus from Seoul National University Station ✔️ The mountain you go up is a rugged rocky mountain❗️ As a beginner hiker and someone with a fear of heights, Gwanaksan was not an easy mountain for me🥾 I went with a friend, but there were many rugged rocks, so I went around quickly and went up the safe path🫶 I'm still too new to feel the charm of hiking, but if you're a hiker, you can't miss out on a hiking trip😊

It is a mountain located in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, and is 632m high. From Gwanaksan, you can see the entire view of Seoul and Gyeonggi-do at a glance! I highly recommend the Seoul National University Course to beginner hikers💚 #Gwanaksan #BeginnerHiking #HikingCourse #BlackYak100FamousMountains

#Hiking My 5th conquest of Gwanaksan! I've been to Gwanaksan many times, but this was my first time climbing up the Gwanak Ridge It's a great course where you can see Seoul, Gwacheon, and Anyang, all with Namsan and the Han River in view (you mean it goes all the way around..?;)! The beginning of the course is tough, but it's a very attractive course where you can continue to climb while enjoying the same great view as the summit before reaching the top~! #Gwanaksan #Hiking course #Gwanak Ridge

Gwanaksan Mountain located in Gwanak-gu, Seoul and Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do! Yeonjudae and Yeonjuam, which can be considered the peak of Gwanaksan Mountain The path up is a bit difficult because it has the character '악' in it, but once you reach the peak, you feel proud and it was nice to be able to see the 360-degree view of Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. If you like hiking, I definitely recommend going there ☺️ #Hiking #Gwanaksan Mountain #Yeonjudae

I went to Gwanaksan Seonyucheon Gukgibong The hot summer is the best time for hiking🥾 The scenery is worth the effort You can enjoy the spectacular view that captures Seoul at a glance #Hiking trip #Hiking course #Hiking #Hiking recommendation

Gwanaksan Mountain in Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do attracts many hikers with its beautiful scenery from the summit! The summit where the Gwanaksan Transmitter Station and the Weather Radar Observatory are located is always full of people trying to take certification shots! The 525m flagpole peak that you stop by in the middle is also a great place to look down on the amazing scenery:) How about trying to climb to the 629m summit on a warm spring day?! #Gwanaksan #GwanaksanCourse #HikingTrip #HikingCourse #HikingCourseRecommendation #MountainHiking

Many people usually hike the courses toward Yeonjudae Valley in Gwanaksan, but unlike the Yeonjudae course, which is well-organized with stairs and decks, if you head to the Jaunam ridge course in the opposite direction, you can experience a short and thick rock ridge course! There are no decks or stairs at all along the way, and you have to climb 100% on the rock ridge course, so hiking boots and gloves are essential. Although it is difficult, there are many viewpoints, and you can enjoy an open view even if you climb just a little, so I highly recommend going up the Jaunam course and then going down the Yeonjudae course. 😀 #Hiking #HotPlace #Seoul #Gwanaksan

#Hiking One day in September, I climbed Mt. Gwanak Even the clouds seemed to celebrate the hike, creating such a beautiful landscape. Mt. Gwanak, which even my 8-year-old daughter could climb without difficulty. It's even more fun when the whole family goes hiking #TheBest #Mt.Gwanak #Mt.GwanakCourse

#Hiking Gwanaksan is a mountain that even beginners can easily climb⛰ If you take the bus from Seoul National University Station and get off at the beginning of the hiking course, you can complete the hike in 3 hours and 30 minutes round trip! Gwanaksan is a hiking trail and stairs with no rough roads, so it's the perfect hiking trail for beginners!

#SeoulTravel I usually pass by Gwanaksan in a hurry, but today I decided to climb slowly, one step at a time. Even though it's in the middle of Seoul, the sound of the wind and the smell of the soil welcomed me the moment I entered the forest path. 🌿 The beginning is a flat perimeter path, it's nice to walk like taking a forest bath, and the real uphill starts from the middle. It's not that difficult, but you'll sweat a lot— I recommend wearing hiking boots instead of sneakers! 🚩 It takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to get to the top. Every time I look down at the Seoul cityscape from the observation points that appear here and there, I can't help but think, "Why did I do this now?" 📸 Recommended photo spots! Yeonjudae: The golden view is complete with the sunset as the background✨ Mid-hill rest area bench: The combination of the Seoul view + sunlight is so pretty 🧃 Water and snacks are sold at the rest area after passing the mid-hill, and the wind is strong at the summit, so be sure to bring a thin windbreaker! 📍 Gwanaksan Mountain hiking information 🗺️ Starting point: Gwacheonhyanggyo ⏱️ Total time required: Approximately 3-4 hours round trip (course selection available) 💪 Difficulty: Medium (easy for experienced hikers, even beginners can climb slowly!) 🚰 Store: Simple snacks and water sold at the temple or Yeonjudae 🧤 What to bring: Gloves, hiking boots, hat, water, simple snacks 💡 Hiking beginner tips It's still a little cold in early April, so bring a windbreaker or jumper. **Honsan (climbing alone)** is also not burdensome at all The sound of your feet on the dirt road, the leaves rustling in the wind, and a breath of cool air at the summit. Today, Thanks to Gwanaksan, I came down feeling light in body and mind. #GwanaksanHiking #SeoulHikingCourse #GwanaksanPhotoSpot

Gwanaksan Mushroom Ridge—originally, I intended to hike the Hakbawi Ridge, but I took the wrong path. However, this route turned out to be even more thrilling and fun than Jaunam. It's a continuous rocky ridge, even more enjoyable than the 6 Peaks trail. Please, everyone, give it a try! * Gwanaksan (Gwacheon-Sadang) 📍 From Seoul National University Entrance Station Exit 3 (take bus 5511 or 5513) - Get off at Construction Research Institute (the trailhead is right in front) - Mushroom Rock Ridge - Yeonju Peak (summit 629m) - Descend via Gwacheon Hyanggyo - Gwacheon Station (total hiking distance: 5km) * Total time: 3h 47m (including breaks) Hiking: 1h 50m + Descending: 45m ▪️ At the signpost where the Seoul National University Engineering Building course and Hakbawi Ridge split, enter the Hakbawi direction. ▪️ Refer to the map on the last page for detailed directions. ▪️ Most buses stop at Seoul National University, so no need to wait for less crowded ones. ▪️ About 95% of the trail is rocky. ▪️ Hiking boots and gloves are recommended. ▪️ No flagpole peak. ▪️ The trail intersects with the Hakbawi course midway. ▪️ It's not a famous route, so you likely won't encounter anyone. The path is well-maintained! ▪️ If you see rocks, just climb them—they're all part of the trail.

Hey Travs! Here's to winter's last sigh and spring's first breath. As winter's chill fades and spring's warmth awakens, we're reminded that change is inevitable, but growth is optional. Let's breathe in the new beginnings, let go of what's holding us back, and bloom into our full potential! . . . . . . . . #tomtraveltv #여행 #pinoytraveler #seoulkorea #seoul #adventure #springtime #cherryblossom #Kdiary #SpringVibes #NewBeginnings #growthmindset #spring #winter #seasons #seasonschange

#AustraliaFlightEvent I recommend you to wear a room in a good place for a walk on a nice day. The walking path is well-organized, so many people visit this place, and it is a good place to enjoy a leisurely walk and heal in nature. It is a popular place for a quiet healing with a hidden walking path.👍👍👍

#CanadaFlightEvent Do you know the difference between a bad mountain and a normal mountain? I didn't know a mountain was a rock mountain. I climbed it once and my knees were all out. I looked down on Gwanaksan for no reason, but the kimbap I ate at the top was amazing. My boyfriend bought it for me. It was a place that was secretly hard to get to from my favorite kimbap restaurant, so I was touched. That's why my knees were out, but my love for Gwanaksan grew.

#JanuaryTravelSupportEvent #Gwanaksan I went to Gwanaksan for a hike after a long time. There was a valley at the entrance of Gwanaksan, so the kids played a lot! I saw the valley on the way up, so I soaked my feet and ate the packed lunch I brought.ㅎㅎ After hiking, I went down to eat something simple and went into the Gwanaksan Guardian House that I saw. I ordered radish noodles / soybean noodles, and the side dishes were neatly served. The radish noodles and soybean noodles were both delicious! It was even sweeter because I ate it after hiking. Next time, when the weather clears up, I have to go hiking at Gwanaksan.ㅎ

It is a rock mountain that spans across Gwanak-gu, Seoul and Anyang. It is quite high and difficult for a mountain in Seoul. There are many courses. There are easy paths that follow the valley, and there are also paths that have great scenery but are very difficult, such as the 6-peak ridge and the 8-peak ridge. It is not a very high mountain, but it is fun to enjoy. #2025OverseasTravelEvent

The location of the beginner hiking course of Gwanaksan starts at the Seoul National University Construction and Environment Research Institute, so please take note😄 📍Gwanaksan #Hiking #HikingTrip
