Dobongsan Mountain is considered by many to be Seoul’s most dramatic and imposing granite mountain. The mountain's Seoninbong peak is especially popular with rock climbers. Located within Bukhansan National Park, Dobongsan is considered one of Seoul's finest mountains by hiking enthusiasts. The mountain is also surrounded by around 60 temples set in scenic valleys and the temples are great places to see some of Korea's history and culture while enjoying the outdoors.
Munsa-dong Valley
Munsa-dong is said to be a place where scholars visited their masters to write, serve food, and take refuge in Dobongsan Mountain. The surrounding scenery is breathtaking, so it is great for resting quietly against the rocks. It is the valley on the left side of the two valleys that split after passing Dobong Seowon.
