Address

Baegundae area, Bukhansan National Park

A national park inside the city, with granite peaks lined up along the ridge. Baegundae is the highest at 836 metres. The last stretch is a steep rock scramble on chains, so you need fitness and proper shoes. From the top you can see Seoul, the Han River and toward the western sea. On autumn weekends hikers queue for the summit.
