Overview
Rising tall south of the Han River in Seoul, Gwanaksan forms the boundary between Sillim-dong in Gwanak-gu and Anyang and Gwacheon in Gyeonggi Province. The summit is made of rocks, and its appearance resembles wearing a traditional gat, which is how it got its name. It is easily accessible by public transportation and boasts majestic rocky ridges, making it a consistently popular route among hikers. Among them, the short but bold route up to Gukgibong near Gwaneumsa Temple, a temple founded during the Unified Silla period, is known as a short but broad route where you can enjoy the charm of Gwanaksan. There are many rocky sections and some steep slopes, but once you reach the summit, you'll be greeted with an excellent view that makes you forget all the effort you've put in. Under the name 'Excellent Scenic Observatory,' there is also a space where you can relax and relax. For adults, the Gwaneumsa National Flag Peak can be easily climbed up and down in about two hours.
