If you're yearning for some fresh air and looking to explore South Korea's diverse landscapes, hiking with Seoul Hiking Tourism is a great option.

That's why Seoul Hiking Tourism offers a convenient solution: rent quality hiking gear, including boots, clothes, and even crampons for those more adventurous trails.

Hiking in Seoul

Bukhansan (Elevation: highest peak 837 meters)

Seoul's unique terrain boasts a surprising number of mountains, offering a welcome escape from the concrete maze. From the iconic Bukhansan that hug the city's northern border to the smaller, yet equally charming, peaks like Inwangsan and Namsan, Seoul caters to all levels of hikers. Speaking of mountains, "san" (산) means "mountain" in Korean. It's a handy word to know as you explore the peaks.

Bukhansan in Autumn

For the seasoned adventurer, the Bukhansan National Park offers challenging climbs and breathtaking panoramic views. Bukhansan is also one of three natural wonders of Seoul along with Namsan and the Han River.

Naksan Park (Elevation: 125 meters)

Casual explorers can opt for shorter, well-maintained trails on Inwangsan or Namsan, perfect for a dose of nature without breaking a sweat, though keep in mind that South Korea's summer humidity can make even easy hikes feel more demanding.
