SeoulHike - Seoul Hiking Guide

Seoul is one of the few major cities in the world where you can start a hike within an hour — sometimes right from the heart of downtown.

🚇 Seoul hikes that start at the subway station

If you're not familiar with Seoul's geography or transit, just getting to the trailhead can be harder than the hike itself. Most hiking apps only show you the trail — SeoulHike starts from the subway station, so anyone can begin without the hassle.

Pick a mountain you're interested in from the home screen, and we'll show you popular and recommended routes. Every route starts at a subway station. Walk straight to the trailhead from the station exit, or take a short bus ride for segments that need one. Follow the GPS route from the station all the way to the summit, and you'll never lose your way.
