The trail an the top is very rewarding if you are fit and daring enough. You'll have to climb up and down very steep cliffs, but there are handrails to hold on to. It is worth noting however, that the path is one way on weekends.

Bukhansan Buddhist Temple

Highlight • Religious Site

Hiking boots are highly recommended. A jacket and sweater for the summit, even if it's still 15 degrees Celsius in the valley.

Bukhansan National Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Bukhansan National Park is in the immediate vicinity of the South Korean capital Seoul and can be reached by metro. It is the major hiking and recreational area in the metropolitan region. Countless hiking trails lead through the park with its many mountains, cultural monuments, temples and the mountain fortress Bukhansanseong.

The national park has a total area of 78.45 km². Nevertheless, it can get very, very crowded on weekends in certain regions - hiking is a national sport in South Korea! Better to plan for tours during the week and early in the morning. Decent hiking equipment is a must here.
