The joy of putting your feet in an extra cold water stream, in the middle of Seoul city
During summer, many Seoul citizens head out to Gyeonggi-do in order to enjoy the province’s refreshing valley streams. The Gwanaksan Valley Trail is a charming alternative, and is a route where you can enjoy ice cold valley streams and a peaceful walk in the forests, all in the middle of Seoul. Following the trail, you will run into the Gwanaksan Lake Park, spring waters, and an arboretum. As you walk along, the refreshing sound of the valley’s water will let you escape from the hotness of summer. The dense trees will also provide you with more than enough shade. If you feel burden to move out of Seoul for a summer valley trip, why not head to Gwanak-gu?
