World-Class Hiking

Korea is the ideal destination for you if you prefer to be active while traveling (you might feel the need to after all that food). Mountainous terrain makes up 70% of South Korea, and there are 22 national parks to select from. Hills may be found both inside and outside of cities, and you are never more than a short walk or ride on public transportation away from a trail. A delight is the forested paths that wind through the hills scattered around the cities; they're the ideal location to engage in some active exploration while traveling the nation. They are also very accessible in terms of time and difficulty; for a pleasant city break, you can hop on a 30-minute hike in a forest with modest slopes without ever leaving the city.

There are beautiful national parks all around the country for more serious hikers, in addition to three trails that run the whole length of the west, south, and east coasts. Popular entry locations may be reached and left with ease, and the areas around the largest national parks offer everything you might possibly need, from maps to food stands. There are also walks for every skill level, from easy river strolls to challenging mountain climbs with waterfalls and stunning views.
