Climbing In Korea

Dear CIKers,

On Saturday 16th May, let's enjoy a relaxing walk/gentle hike on The Gungdongsan Neighborhood Park Trail (궁동산 근린공원 둘레길), about 4.3 km long in the neighourhood of Yeonhui-dong.

Hello CIKers!
On May 23rd we`ll be going to Gwanaksan to enjoy the beautiful scenery in Seoul and then heading toward Gwacheon stn on line 4. This hike is expected to take about 5 hours and is moderately difficult with beautiful scenery. But some sections of the trail are rocky, steep and will involve stairs and handrails. So you must be careful and know your ability. Also, you should still have hiking shoes since most of the trail involves climbing on rocks. It should be a fantastic day of hiking so don`t miss this great opportunity!

Hello CIKers!

CIK, in collaboration with Black Yak, will hike the 13 fortresses of Bukhansanseong. We will get some awesome exercise, explore temples, see fortress gates, hike up many peaks, and observe nature's beauty during our hike on Bukhan mountain.

If we were to complete this 18km hike in one day, it would take us approximately 10 hours. Since this hike is long and difficult, we hiked the first half on May 25 and will do the second half on June 3.

You will earn 500 points if you take a picture at each of the gates, temples and peaks along the hike.

[Bukhansan Challenge 360]
1. Complete the Hiking Challenge of 13 Gates of Bukhansanseong
2. 11 Temple Tour
3. 12 Peaks Challenge
4. Extreme Challenge

This hike will take roughly around 6 hours, depending on the speed and ability level of our group. The trail is classified moderately difficult and has a few fun challenges along the way.
