Baekunbong(940m)

Baekunbong(940m)

Where: Yangpyeong-gun, Kyeonggi-do

When: December 14, 2024

I took train(Joongangsun Line) and got off at the Yangpyeong Station. From there, took a taxi for 15 minutes to Sesugol. Taxi fair amounts to 8,500won. Hiking starts at Sesugol.  

There are two routes to reach the peak. One trail ascends steeply through Duribong, and it continues with ridge hiking afterward. The other trail takes a gentler path through the valley. I chose to ascend via the ridge while I descended through the valley. The entire hike took more than five hours, including rest breaks.

Guided Bukhansan Hikes

About KH South Korea boasts many beautiful mountains, several of which are conveniently located near the capital city of Seoul and are easily accessible by subway. I worked for a financial company in Seoul for many years. One day, I went hiking on Gwanaksan Mountain in Gyeonggi Province, but I only made it halfway up because it was quite challenging for me. This experience inspired me to start exploring more mountains in Korea, including Bukhansan Mountain in Seoul. I fell in love with hiking on weekends and, over the past 30 years, I have hiked many mountains throughout Korea. After retiring several years ago, I began guiding mountain hikes. Whether the mountain is large or small, there are always risks associated with mountaineering. As a mountain guide, I prioritize safety in hiking. If you are interested in hiking, please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to suggest a customized hike that suits your preferences. Email: song.khs@gmail.co m Bukhansan National Park Aw...
