Rating systems differ between pages. An official grade follows the operator’s own scale, so an “easy” route can still take over three hours. Compare routes by walking time and distance as well. Getting to and from stations is described separately in each route.

Good to know

  • Stamp boxes: the Bangi-dong conservation area and Gwangmyeonggyo Bridge (name on the Korean route page). They are outdoors and the ink can dry out, so bring your own ink pad (official advice).
  • The Seongnaecheon had run dry; water from the Hangang River and groundwater now flows in it again as a restored stream.
  • The Jangjicheon is known for its cherry blossoms in spring. The Tancheon is a 35.6 km stream that rises in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, and flows into the Hangang River.
