Category 3 climb at around 480m above sea level, that could be popular with (dedicated) road cyclists or walkers although, using the road might be less advisable on foot as traffic albeit slow moving can be busy - both buses and cars. This climb is quite tough, or at least it was for me. The average gradient is around 5% according to Strava but there are sections all the way up to 12% and the “S Bends” can feel a bit relentless! Definitely one to revisit when I’m more confident at climbing.

The walled fortress itself and surrounding buildings are stunning and well worth a visit as a tourist attraction, I didn’t have time on this visit to explore but I fully intend to return on foot. There are also numerous well regarded restaurants at the summit of the climb.

Great climb and great descent towards Seoul. Highly recommended if you're in Seoul!
