Bulgok Mt-Youngjang Mt-Yuldong Park hiking!!( 3 hr and a half course)

Details

Bulgoksan(m345) and Youngjangsan are some of the most favorite mountains for the residents in Bundang, the first original suburban town of Seoul. The area is lush in flora and fauna but is slowly being deteriorated due to many people moving into the city every year. Still, it is one of the cleanest cities in Korea.

In this hiking, we will have a lunch between the two mountains as there are many restaurants on the way to Youngjangsan and Yuldong Park(율동공원), where bungee jumping and reading books on the benches are some of the favorite activities of the locals.

**Meetup Point, Time and a brief itinerary

We will eat our lunch around 1 pm and rest for 30 min by the water mill etc and do another hiking for 40 min to 1 hr to some trails of another mountain(more like hills) and to the park!

At the park, you are free to do anything you like including bungee jumping or just hanging out as long as you want.
