The Seoul Trail a 156.5 km long-distance trail winds around Seoul. It opened in November 2014. Initially eight shorter routes made up the trail. Today 21 routes make it more accessible.
Hikers explore the city’s diverse landscapes. They range from mountains and forests to parks and streams. Each sub-trail offers a unique experience. It takes between two and five hours to complete. Some are perfect for families.
