Traveler reviews
Lydia Chu
★★★★★3 months agoI recently came here with my cousin, and it was such a nice walk. The trail is easy, peaceful, and very well maintained, making it perfect for a relaxing day outdoors. At the base of the trail is the historic Seodaemun Prison History Hall, which gives the area special meaning. Then, as you continue on the trail, you’re surrounded by trees, fresh air, and quiet paths that feel like a break from the busy city. I really enjoyed how simple and calming this walk was. It’s not a hard hike, so you can just slow down, enjoy nature, and take in the peaceful surroundings. It’s a lovely spot for an easy outdoor walk in Seoul.

★★★★★3 months agoJust one step away from city and you in the forest. Trail is not hard, you can also go peak from trail or use side ways which are more natural.
