BUKHANSAN (seoul hiking)

when fall temperatures was still pleasant and the sun was shining we stepped into the pine woods of bukhansan national park just on the outskirts of seoul...

swimming pools!!

through misty, wet morning we climbed carefully:

slippery slopes

towards higher peaks like this:

the korean fall emits much positiveness and is full of sunlight, the woods are filled with cheering warm colours

peaks in bukhansan are predominantly huge granite blocks and ridge trails are maintained and equipped with safety metal railings by proactive korean government since hiking is considered to be a national hobby

and if you are injured (let's hope not) you can get first aid from these birdhouse like emergency boxes:

we enjoyed this one day hiking trip near seoul, i admire the complexity/difficulty of trails

what's next?

back to the city
