Descrição
Hike a scenic 5.8 km loop on Geumjeongsan with a Korean thru-hiker, passing fortress gates, forest trails, granite viewpoints, and wide-open views over Busan.
Geumjeongsan was recently designated as South Korea’s 24th national park, making this one of the best places to experience Busan’s mountain landscape without leaving the city.
Meet your guide at Oncheonjang Station and ride a local bus together into the mountains of Busan. From Sanseong Pass, we’ll hit the trail on a scenic 5.8 km loop through one of the quieter parts of Geumjeongsan.
We’ll walk through forest trails and pass Nammun Gate, part of the historic Geumjeongsanseong Fortress, before gradually gaining the ridge. Along the way, the trail opens up to granite outcrops and viewpoints overlooking Busan.
We’ll tag two peaks, taking time to stop for photos, catch our breath, and enjoy the views rather than rushing from peak to peak. The route has some uneven and rocky sections, but no technical climbing is required. It’s designed for active travelers who enjoy walking and want to experience a real Korean mountain trail without taking on a full-day or strenuous hike.
I’m a Korean thru-hiker who has completed both the Appalachian Trail and Pacific Crest Trail, and I’ll share a little of Korea’s hiking culture along the way while keeping the pace relaxed and comfortable for the group.
We’ll finish back down in the mountain village. If you’d like to stay a little longer, you’re welcome to join me for a traditional Korean meal after the hike at your own expense.
