Mt. Nogosan

Mt. Nogosan is located in north western area of Seoul.  It is 450 M mountain, where has great view to see famous Mt. Bukhansan.  Mt. Bukhansan is a national park, which has world no. 1 record of no. of visitors a year because of easy accessibility from metropolitan Seoul area.  There're lots of hikers in Mt. Bukhansan during weekend.

Meanwhile, Mt. Nogosan is sitting nearby Mt. Bukhansan without crowded people.  It's good for those who like tramping because there're not many rocks and it's not steep.  It's fantastic to look around panoramic view of Mt. Bukhansan and Mt. Dobongsan on the summit.
There're several courses to hike and it takes around 2 hours to top.
It's great hiking course especially for those who have knee problem.

 

I like the course from Samsong subway station (Subway line 3). It's good hiking course and passes through Reserve Army Drill area.

 

Peak of Mt. Bukhansan is seen at the right hand side of above photo and Mt. Nogosan is in the center area of the photo with very steady slope.

How to get there

 

Take a bus (# 350 or 360) from Gupabal station (Orange line 3) to Samhari or another bus (# 34 or 704) to Heungkooksa temple.
