#SIWAHIKINGCLUB – Northern side of Gwanak Mountain

Tuesday, 2023 April 11 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm
Free

Spring is here!! And we are so excited to explore some beautiful trails filled with cherry blossoms and various flowers in Seoul. Join us as we venture out to walk a trail around Gwanak Mountain in Seoul. The mountain gets its name from its shape. Gwanak, in Korean, means ‘hat-shaped’. Therefore, Gwanaksan means ‘hat-shaped peak’.We will be taking the trail all the way to the Rockcarved Buddha and back and also visiting Nakseongdae park. The finishing point for this hike is Syarosu-gil, the food street of SNU (Seoul National University) area.
