Good to know
- Stamp boxes: the Seoul Iris Garden and the Danggogae Park fork. They are outdoors and the ink can dry out, so bring your own ink pad (official advice).
- As a hard route it includes mountain paths. Wear shoes with good grip and carry water (KoreaClear advice).
- Suraksan means “mountain of falling water”, after the water that tumbles down its great granite faces.
- From the Quarry Observatory you can see Buramsan, Yongmasan, Achasan, Gwanaksan, Namsan and Bukhansan, with central Seoul in between (official information).
- Near the start, a Seoul Trail Information Center on the ground floor of the Seoul Iris Garden building gives directions and issues completion certificates (official information).
