The experience
A granite massif on Seoul's northern edge, protected as a national park and threaded with dozens of marked trails across three main peaks. The signature climb is Baegundae, the highest point at 836m, which finishes with a rocky scramble up bolted handrails and ropes to a bare summit. From the top the whole of Seoul spreads out below on a clear day.
A genuine mountain summit with 360-degree views of the capital, reachable on the subway.
