Gaehwasan Mountain is only about 100m high, but it takes about an hour to circle around, making it suitable for walking and exercising. However, due to the hiking trail repair work, various places are under construction.

It's Gaehwasan Mountain again. I arrived at the Gaehwasan Sky Road Observatory after walking for 10 minutes. Arrived at 6:42 PM. It's late, so I can't climb to the top today, so I'm satisfied with climbing this far. It's been a while since I hiked, and I'm sweating a lot and feeling good! As I climbed uphill, sweat ran down my face and mosquitoes kept buzzing next to my right ear. As I continued to climb while waving with a hand fan, I saw Namutek-gil. When I came here, I saw people passing by. Gaehwasan Mountain is the highest mountain (128m) in Gangseo-gu, Seoul. It was called Juryongsan Mountain during the Joseon Dynasty. It is said that it was named so because Teacher Juryong practiced Taoism on this mountain during the Silla Dynasty. At the Sky Road Observatory, you can see airplanes going up. The video was filmed at 20x zoom. It’s refreshing to sit here.

I see this mountain every day while commuting to work, but when I actually get there, the trail is good and the view is nice. It's also connected to the Seonam Water Recycling Center Park, so the course is long, which is nice😄 It's a great course for a light exercise, taking about an hour to complete one lap!

Today~ It is "Gaehwasan Mountain" (128m above sea level), the highest mountain in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, but there is a military facility at the top, so the Gaehwasan Mountain marker (114m) is placed below. We came to course 8, "Gaehwasan Beacon Mound", the last place for stamps throughout Gangseo-gu! There was a public parking lot near Banghwa Neighborhood Park, so I parked the car, passed Banghwa Neighborhood Park, and headed toward Gangseo Dulle-gil! I came early because I thought it was going to be hot today. It is connected to an uphill road and a flat area. There is a restroom in the middle, and the air conditioner is inside, so it was really cool. The manager did a good job of cleaning, so it was very neat and friendly. Even if you sit for 5 minutes, you will sweat, but if you go out, it is a sauna. I respect people who climb Mt. Gaehwa barefoot! Even children came up with ease. The stamps and marking locations are different throughout.

This is Gaehwasan Mountain. When I went up, I went up from Banghwa Neighborhood Park, and when I came down, I lost my way, so I came down toward Bangwon Middle School and Yeonsin Church. I took pictures and looked around, and after about an hour in total, there was a military unit on top of the road, so the marker is here. Today, I went to Banghwa Neighborhood Park, Gangseo Dulle-gil Course 1, Gaehwasan Sunrise Park, Gaehwasan Mountain, Pungsan Simmunjeonggong Tomb Station, and Neuti Park. There were residents all over the place. If I didn’t know, I asked! I quickly came down because my battery was low and I was afraid it would rain, but I didn't know when it would rain, so I decided to go back up after lunch! I couldn't write a review because I was out of location, so this time I went up behind Gaehwasan Station. It was a struggle. This place is gentle, so it takes 10 minutes to get to the Sky Observatory. The Namu Tech Road is good, and I enjoyed the plane ride. Sky Observatory -> Summit again! There is an artificial waterfall on Gaehwasan Mountain next to Yaksasa Temple. Winter comes too.
