Everything on this site in English: trails you can walk in a day, what to eat afterwards, treatments that fit around the walking, and the practical business of getting round Busan and Seoul.
Trails and walking
Start here if you have never hiked in Korea. The mountains are small, the trailheads are on the subway, and a lot of the walking is not about summits at all.
How it works
- Hiking in Korea — low mountains, day hikes and the dulle-gil format
- What a dulle-gil is — trails that go around, not up
The networks
- Galmaetgil — Busan’s 278 km coastal network, nine courses
- The Seoul City Wall Trail — 18.6 km over four small mountains
- Day hikes in Seoul — Bukhansan, Inwangsan, Gwanaksan, Namsan
Individual walks in Busan
Each carries a walking-load table: time, surface, ascent, shade, exertion and how easy it is to stop early.
- Haeundae, Dongbaekseom and the Blueline Park — flat, easiest, best first walk
- Huinnyeoul Village to Taejongdae — cliffs and pine forest on Yeongdo
- Jagalchi and Gukje markets — the urban section, covered, good in rain
- The Gijang coast to Haedong Yonggungsa — fishing villages and a temple on the rocks
- Songdo Beach to Gamcheon Culture Village — the one with a real climb
Eating and staying well

This is a visitor’s travel guide, not a medical service. Nothing here is medical advice — treatment suitability, restrictions and recovery differ by person and by clinic, and should be confirmed with a licensed practitioner before you book. Trail conditions and park hours change; check the managing authority before you set out.
