Good to know
- Stamp boxes: Maeheon Citizen’s Forest and the Umyeonsan entrance (Bangbae-dong). They are outdoors and the ink can dry out, so bring your own ink pad (official advice).
- As a medium route it includes mountain paths. Wear shoes with good grip and carry water (KoreaClear advice).
- Umyeonsan (293 m) is named for its shape, said to look like a sleeping ox. Steep and level stretches alternate.
- At the start, the Maeheon Information Center (ground floor of the Maeheon Citizen’s Forest office) gives directions and issues Seoul Trail completion certificates. It is closed on Sundays, Mondays and public holidays (official information).
