Bugaksan Historic Hike - Fully Unveiled After 60 Years

Hey everyone!

Join CIK for a special autumn hike along Mt. Bugaksan! This route features the newly opened section, which was made fully accessible to the public for the first time in over 60 years. Walking through these long-restricted, untouched forest paths offers a rare and immersive look into Seoul’s hidden natural beauty and rich history.
Before we hit the trail, we have an exclusive cultural experience! Representatives from the Institute of Korean Confucian Culture will join us at the gathering point to share a brief, insightful introduction to traditional Korean Confucian heritage and hand out special souvenir gifts to all CIK participants.

Starting from Changi-mun Info Center, we will ascend through the Dolphin Rest Area and access the newly unveiled ridge trail. We will then cross Baegakmaru Peak (342m), follow the ancient city wall past Gokseong Lookout and Sukjeongmun Gate, and wrap up with a scenic stroll through Samcheong Park.
