Hiking in Seoul, Mr. Bukhansan National park - Hidden Wall trail

Seventy percents of Korean territory is covered with mountains. So, you don't need to go far to enjoy eco-tourism.

Seoul has many mountains. Among them, The Bukhansan mountain is one of the most beautiful mountains which is located inside Seoul. There are many people who enjoy hiking on this mountain.

National parks are very rarely within a city, and yet Bukhansan Mountain in Seoul was designated as the 15th national park of Korea in 1983.

Mt. Bukhansan is like an ecological island because it’s totally surrounded by urban areas, but it still serves as green lungs for the urban environment.

You can enjoy changes of four seasons.

 

We go on a mountain trail where many hikers say that it is the most scenic of the mountain trails.

Trekking in Seoul - Bukhansan National Park, South Korea.

Do you want to visit the hidden places in Seoul Korea?

Mt. Bukhansan is one of the most beautiful places in Korea and it is also one of Korea's national parks. The Bukhan means North part from Han River. San means mountain.

The national park is like an ecological island because it’s totally surrounded by urban areas, but it still serves as green lungs for the urban environment.

It’s a popular natural park for over 20 million residents within the vicinity. It’s accessible from anywhere in the Metropolitan area thanks to the great road system. Among the many hiking trails, one of the best scenic views is from the Hidden Wall trail, according to many hikers.

The Hidden Wall got its name as it is situated between Baegundae and Insubong peaks.

Among the many hiking trails in Mt. Bukhan, one of the best scenic views is from the Hidden Wall trail, according to many hikers. This trail begins at the Bamgol in Bukhan-dong, in Goyang-si (city), Gyeonggi-do (Gyeonggi Province). It is not an easy course. People will find a steep ascent early on. They have to pass rocks and valleys. Those who prefer a simple and easy trail would be better off choosing a different course. For those who know the charms of climbing an untamed mountain path, however, this trail can reward them with one of the best views of the mountain and a sense of grand satisfaction. The Hidden Wall got its name as it is situated between Baegundae and Insubong peaks. The huge, singular rock makes people realize the magnificence and greatness of nature, even though they are still within Seoul city limits. Once atop the rock, people will forget about the path's difficulty and enjoy the picturesque view of Insubong and Baegundae peaks and the cool mountain breeze. Also, when they get to the rock, they can fully enjoy the view of the two mountain summits.
