Overview
Baegundae Peak is the crown jewel of Bukhansan National Park — Seoul's dramatic granite mountain visible from almost anywhere in the northern city. The trail winds through pine forests, past Buddhist temples and up rocky ridges to a summit with 360-degree views.
Why Visit
Standing on the summit of Baegundae with Seoul spread out below you is one of the city's defining experiences. The final scramble up steel cables adds genuine adventure to what's otherwise a well-maintained trail.
Tips For Visiting
- ·Start before 7 AM on weekends to beat the crowds.
- ·Bring gloves for the cable section near the summit.
- ·The Bukhansanseong trail entrance is less crowded than the main Dobongsan route.
