Incredible hike of over 2.074 ft. (622 meters). There are plenty of Buddhist temples along the hiking trails. There are many ways to get to the top from easy, moderate, hard, or even very challenging hikes. The views are absolutely incredible, both of the mountains are Seoul and South is Anyang City and Anyang Art Park. I chose to start at Gwanak Station near Anyang City to Gwancheong-dong (taking photos and videos along the way and resting to admire the views, please give yourself plenty of time. It took me 10 hours). Please do not take the trail to Gwancheong-dong as it is an unauthorized area (Unfortunately, I had no idea because it was very late at night and too dark). I do however recommend to visit few temples on the way to the top. Highly recommend the hiking trails 😎👍 Please pack a liter of water, ypu will definitely need it 😀

보기보다 힘들고 어려운 산 입니다. 사당역에서 나와 시작부근에서부터 언주대 정상까지 2시간 30분 정도 걸렸습니다. 저는 3월 15일에 갔는데 시산제를 하고 있더라고요! 외국인도 은근 많았고, 평지로 걷는 구간이 있어서 도전해 볼 만 합니다. 하지만 등산이 익숙지 않다면 추천하지 않아요. 오히려 서울대공대쪽으로 계단으로 올라오는 게 더 수월할 수 있습니다. 과천으로 갈 수도 있고, 서울대로 내려올 수도 있어요. 힘들지만 보람찼습니다.

Debated between 4 and 5 stars for this one, but went with 5 for two main reasons: the proximity to Seoul and ease of access using public transportation. The hiking itself is okay. There are far better hikes as well as significantly taller mountains in the area. The views from Gwanaksan aren't that great either. The peaks on Gwanaksan are topped with eyesore weather arrays, cable cars and antennae, which noticeably detract from the natural beauty. The views of the surrounding peaks and southern part of Seoul aren't nearly as impressive as the views of the surrounding peaks and the heart of downtown Seoul like you'd find at Bukhansan or even Inwangsan. But it is a change of pace from hiking in Seoul itself, and it is easy to reach with public transportation. So negatives aside, I still think it's worth visiting if you like hiking

관악산. Gwanaksan. Парковый лесокомплекс Гванаксан притягивает к себе любителей гор своими небычайными красотами. Если выйти на станции метро Садан 4-й выход (사당 역, Sadang), подняться до первого поворота между домами (апатами), повернуть направо и идти вверх, увидите большое табло с маршрутами и речку, то вы на верном пути к восхождению. К слову, есть и другие точки от куда можно начать свой путь. С корейской щепетильностью туристические тропы благоустроены, чтобы люди получали наслаждение от прогулки и были максимально защищены во время восхождения. Для вашей безопасности возведены лестницы для преодоления сложных участков, где без специального альпинистского снаряжения невозможно было бы подняться. В местах, где возможны падения, стоят предупреждающие таблички и ограждения из бревен. Даже если вы не знаете языка, то вы поймете по изображениям, что лучше в тех направлениях не двигаться. Либо на склонах гор сделаны рукотворные лестницы из камней. Примечательно то, что при восхождении вы будете встречать корейские флаги, служащие сигналом, что очередная высота преодолена. На одной из вершин оборудовано место для отдыха из деревянного настила. Здесь корейцы устраивают пикники, по выходным дням даже ходят торговцы преклонного возраста, предлагают еду и напитки. На заметку, в горах нельзя разводить огонь. Не забудьте убрать мусор и прихватите его с собой. Вы нигде не встретите пакеты с мусором. Вам будет казаться, что кроме вас здесь еще никто не ходил. Если вам мало было физической нагрузки, то по пути вы встретите оборудованную спортивную площадку. Также, у подножия гор, есть комплекс с различными тренажерами. По дороге вы будете встречать дзоты и доты, сохранившиеся со времен войны. На входе в них висят таблички, что эти объекты исторические и находятся под охраной. Корейская фишка это туалеты, было отмечено три туалета, у подножия гор, в буддистком храме и при подъеме в горах. Что примечательно, в туалетах очень чисто, видно что за ними ухаживают. Когда вы возвращаетесь с маршрута, вы можете почистить свою обувь и одежду от пыли струёй воздуха. В общем, все сделано для того, чтобы люди получали удовольствие от...
