    Tips

    November 13, 2019

    In the park you can go on great hikes with different levels of difficulty. Please note that tours that are marked as challenging are actually challenging or strenuous!
    For those who don't want to walk: There is also a cable car that takes you to one of the peaks.
    The entrance fee for the park was 3000 won for an adult. The cable car costs 7000 won per person.

      Extensive national park with many natural routes, but there is also something for the more comfortable. Sturdy shoes, time and a bit of fitness are useful if you really want to enjoy and explore the park.

        Easily accessible from Sokcho. Just get on the green 7-1 bus at the intercity bus station or express bus station (reachable about 2:30 hours from Seoul Express Station). National Park is the terminus.

          Entrance to Seoraksan National Park

            What you should know about Seoraksan National Park is that the hike to Geumgangul Cave is really beautiful and challenging, as it goes very steeply uphill on rocks and stone steps. Shortly before the end, however, you can only reach the cave via a staircase mounted on the outside of the rock. Unfortunately, I had to pass on that. You do have to be able to handle a bit of height here. The same applies to the hike to Ulsanbawi Rock.
            On weekends and in autumn, it is more than full. Today, Sunday 10/20/24, we hiked to Ulsanbawi Rock in single file, which somewhat spoils the fun. But Seoraksan National Park is great and if you hike the main routes, you have to be prepared for there to be a lot of other hikers with you at peak times. But this is a good opportunity to immerse yourself in Korean hiking culture.
