北汉山国家公园

我们是做七号线到道峰山站下的，从一号出口出来之后跟着人流就可以判定去的路。出一号口往左走，会穿过一条很窄的地下通道，两边都是卖菜的大妈，然后走到前面穿过马路，一直往前跟着大部队就会到北汉山脚下，越靠近北汉山，两边卖登山装备的店就越来越多。到了门口，可以拍照留念了，不用门票的哦，亲。一直往前就会分开两天路，一条是往左的很平坦的路，一条是比较抖的，都是山路。我选择的是山路，后面发现很刺激。不同的朋友可以选择不同的路哈。一切靠你自己来闯，最后不管怎样要注意安全哈。

来远足之前不知道自己该带些什么,也不知道可以玩些什么。我穿上都市休闲服和一双舒适的天伯伦鞋。而韩国人则全都是登山装备——背包,食物,水,拐杖,登山鞋等等。才爬了半小时,我就明白这些装备为何是必需的了。来之前一定请做好准备。远足一共要向上爬两千米的路程。路上有好几个休息站,可以停下来吃点东西,但因为我什么食物都没带,就没得享受了。下次来就有经验了。

周末这里人特别多,不过路线很适合徒步,甚至攀岩。冬天冰雪覆盖的时候会辛苦一点,撑死了8小时也够了。春秋两季颜色丰富,非常漂亮,夏天很热。阳光灿烂的时候,在公园午餐也很棒呢!

北汉山国家公园很迷人,交通也很方便。我坐橙线火车到Gupabal站,那儿有公园的地图和大巴路线图(有些有英文),坐704大巴可以直接到。沿途有很多徒步装备商店、便利店和餐厅等等,不用担心买不到东西。我去的时候是夏天,很潮湿,草木葱绿,非常美。很多小路都在河边,所以有些地方不太好走,还很陡,登山鞋必不可少。为了保障游客的安全,全程都有英语标示和小桥等等。我一共走了5个小时,中间停留了很长时间拍照,绕来绕去最后到了山顶,感觉很好,看到了森林的瀑布和各种地势。进门后我沿着标志到了Yonghaksa,,然后左转去了北漢山待避所,之后沿着路标再左转到最高峰白云台。爬山苦乐参半,很多时候都需要拉着金属绳子通过,攀登的路径也很多,建议大家像韩国人那样,带双橡胶手套。当时山顶笼罩在云雾中,没看见什么景色,但迷蒙中别有一番风味。到山顶后我就朝白云台信息中心的方向下山了,那边有个入口/出口,出去是Ui-dong,有个汽车站,上面有英文,坐109路大巴能到惠化。不建议大家从Ui-dong进来,因为路上是没玩没了的车道,森林里的路很快就变得陡峭起来。从Gupabal口进去比较好,因为可以去公园任何地方。

我很惊讶地看到,关于国家公园的评论只有两个,从首尔市中心坐30分钟的地铁,可是话又说回来,在我第二次参观公园的时候,从没见到过一个非韩国人。怎么到那里:因为国家公园占地面积80平方千米,所以,当你查找如果到达那里的时候,你会有很多选择。我坐的是1号线(也可以坐7号线)到Dobongsan车站,从出口1出来,跟着大批的狂热的韩国旅行者朝山顶上有岩石孤峰的山方向走。请注意:当我坐1号线到Seokgye站的时候,所有人都下车了,然后火车调头往相反的方向开。我只好从站台出来,走了6米,到了另一个站台,然后上了火车,最终带我到Dobongsan。我不确定是否这只是维修时的临时改变,还是正常路线。我晚上回来的时候,没有在Seokgye站换乘。我不会说韩语,所以,听不懂火车上的通知。就是注意,当所有的乘客都下车,只有你一个人坐着在那里的时候,最好也下车,在车站另外的轨道/站台上换乘:)。一旦你在Dobongsan站下了车,从1出口出来,穿过大街,沿着碎石路直走,路过所有的露天餐馆,最后,你会到一条通向入口的大路(大约步行5分钟)。走近的时候,你会看见一条小的山间溪流,一座可爱的大桥和一个小圆形剧场,继续往前走,你会经过很多徒步旅行者用品商店(韩国人热爱徒步旅行,喜欢把自己从头到脚全副武装)。在入口的山脚下有一个公园服务站,那里有地图,还有说英语的工作人员,帮助游客为徒步登山做准备。我5个小时的远足:我走的最容易的路线,即Uiam路。这大约是2.5公里的路程,算是中等路程,只花了1个小时,旅途非常愉快,因为可以路过几个寺庙,也是非常好的热身运动。从Uiam路,为了看到美不胜收的景色,我沿着山脊线走,爬到Jaunbong的山峰。这部分的旅程有3千米,休息了一下吃午饭、拍照、喝水等等,一共花了有2个小时。在某些斜坡或者其他地方,有栏杆和绳索,供游客抓着往上爬,但是我看到从12岁的背包客到60岁的都能很顺利爬山。在下山的时候,我遇见一些会说英语的韩国人,在下山和接下来喝酒精饮料的一个半小时中,突然就有了伴,后来,我发现在韩国不管我去哪里旅游,这样的情况成了常事。注意所有的当地人都全副武装的旅游时有原因的。一双合适的登山鞋或者健身运动鞋、几层衣服(以防下雨)、足够多的水、水果和巧克力棒,都是必须的。不要想着半天就能参观完公园,至少要留出一整天的时间欣赏公园。我去旅行的时候,天气很好,已经把照片贴到网上了。如果你有时间、有合适的鞋、有冒险的精神,那么,我强烈推荐你逃离首尔的城市生活,来北汉山国家公园一天。

The National Park is easily accessible by Seoul by the metro station. The location is a tranquil and scenic escape from the city. There are plenty of hiking trails and they are well maintained. At the entrance to the park, paper maps can be obtained.

Baegundae is the highest peak. Start at Doseonsa (Doseon Temple), which is a great temple, and hike up to the peak. There is a house with beer, makkoli, ramen, and other drinks and snacks near the top. Great views and it only takes 3-4 hours round trip for moderately paced hikes.

I was able to get out and take a short hike in the middle of winter (-1 degree and snowing) and the paths were well maintained and more helpful, well marked with distance and names in English. Fairly easy to get to via public transportation too. It was a wonderful moment and way to experience fresh air in a quiet setting just outside of the city. I went on a Monday, so it was likely less crowded than on the weekends, from what I have read and heard.

Love hiking these trails! The views provide a great break from the cityscape of Seoul. Two notes for foreigners: 1 . Koreans make hiking into a fashion show -- chances are you're underdressed. Don't sweat it, move on and enjoy nature (and the fashion show!) 2. Wear the right shoes -- hiking/mountain climbing shoes. Running/tennis shoes will not suffice and will be problematic.

We took a tour via Viator to the National park. It was quite a nice (not easy) walk up the mountain with a big Buddha face carved up the mountain and a temple. it was fun despite the cold weather.

It is so close to downtown but you can enjoy the feeling of outdoor and still get good foods around. There are trails for hikers and you can enjoy the remnants of old dynasty markings and smell the natures. Actually, there are many trails that you can enjoy short or long hikes and have access to main road to return easily.Watching sundown from Bukhansan offers great view and it is one of memorable experience I have.

So, me and my partner wanted to do what Koreans do, so we decided hiking. We thought our normal attire is good enough. But we are so wrong. Recommended time to the peak is 1.5 hours, but it took us 4 hours since we dont have any experience and dont have any gear/equipment.But once you reach the top, the scene and view is really breath taking.

We took the hike up the hill and met a really nice older Korean man. While talking we told him we liked the temples so at a fork in the trail about a mile in from the trail head we took the left fork rather than proceed to summit and gate and there is an awesome temple and large Buddha a short hike to left. We did not continue on to summit and gate because it was a very foggy day with no chance of a view

I really love this place! it's the best place for you guys who loved hiking with your fellow friends! unfortunately i come here in a group of tour, so i can't hike for long, but still it's quite amazing to see such breath taking view from up there. But becareful! the path have no real safety measures, just some rope and rocky path in some of the places. If u decide to go hiking out there, it will take quite some time, about 1-3 days depending on your skill and ability, but i highly recommend you to try and hike this national park mountain. Last but not least, I LOVE this place! :D

Lots of things to see and do in Seoul before heading to Bukhansan unless you are hiker like me (last here in winter 2 years ago)Getting here by public transport is not difficult via the metro and bus ( you get off at the last stop at the terminal). From the terminal you can either hike up or bus up (special bus but I reckon half hour frequency) or get a taxi up (US$4 per trip, higher tariff than city taxi). From the entrance gateway there is only main 1 way up until 20 mins up you can get on otherside tracks, all well signposted with proper trails. I had limited time and do only an hour hike to vantage point where i can see the stony mountain top. To get further up it will probably take another 1-2 hours further up. I came in fall late Nov this time hoping foliage like that in Mt Sorak. but only saw a patch of red sporadically. Will need to go to Mt Sorak to enjoy that. Have a good hike
