Seoul Dulle Gil Stage 1: Hiking Suraksan, Buramsan
Why Hike This Section
Section 1 of the Seoul Dulle Gil provides some nice lookout points along the route and is relatively easy. It’s a great section to start with if you’re still finding your trail legs - and you get to collect some stamps! Surak and Buram Mountains have some great summit trails with 360 degree views, but the Dulle Gil does not make these ascents. To make this section more interesting, consider adding in a hike to Suraksan peak.
