Hiking in the city⛰️ My own peak moment found on Gwanaksan

#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
