Itinerary description

Show original

Ideal walk to discover the Namsan Park between the parking lot of Seonamsan and Yongjang-ri. A beautiful route, not only for the landscapes, but for the ruins that are found during the road all of the Silla period.
The first part is a steep climb, it is worth going away to see the ruins indicated, since some of them are quite impressive. Before reaching the hermitage of Sangseonam, the road rises, but afterwards it is lighter although it continues climbing up to the Baduk rock, with beautiful views over the Gyeongju valley and the city. Up there is a mailbox with free postcards from where you can send where you want to be.
From there, easy and light ascent to the Geumobong peak, which has no views. And from there the descent begins, to steep sections, with a beautiful pagoda and a buddha without head on a column. We finish the road in the parking lot.
