Address

Baegundae area, Bukhansan National Park

A national park inside the city, with a row of granite peaks. Baegundae is the highest at 836 metres. The last stretch is a steep rock scramble with chains, so you need fitness and proper shoes. From the top you see Seoul, the Han River and out toward the western sea. Autumn leaf season brings crowds of hikers.
