By 10 Magazine has an article out that lists Seoul’s Top Ten Mountains:
In a land covered by precipitous terrain, it only seems natural that hiking, climbing, and trekking be national pastimes enjoyed by the masses. Anyone in Korea can attest to the hoards of meticulously prepared and fashionably garbed hikers who flock to the trails at any opportune moment. In a country so chaotic and labor-driven, Koreans and foreigners alike are fortunate to possess the ability to escape hectic lifestyles and reach refreshing heights well above the steamy commotion that accompanies daily routines and densely populated cities and boroughs. Whether in search of the perfect sunset, a breath of fresh air, or simply an enjoyable workout, look no further than Korea’s abundant summits for a well-rewarded challenge.
Aside from their natural wonder and extensive histories, the beauty of many of Korea’s peaks lies in their convenient proximity to cities and urban dwellings. Hikers can easily access many mountains by bus and subway, which allows for a feasible and expedient escape from city life. Some mountains require a bit more footwork but are well worth the effort. The following suggestions outline several of Seoul’s favorite hiking locales as well as a few lesser known destinations that are not to be missed by anyone seeking some of Korea’s truest beauty.
