Strolling on the deck around the spur of the mountain is like walking on clouds. This place of healing features the sounds of waters trickling beneath the rocks, singing of the birds, and evergreen pines and humble flowers on the edges of the path.

COURSE MAP
INFORMATION
About the trail
· The trail alternates between forest trails lined with wildflowers, stone steps, dirt paths, and well-kept boardwalks. Daily walking shoes instead of hiking boots will do fine here. · Past Gaemi Maeul on the way to Mugunghwa Park leads to a maehwa (plum blossom) village that is a great photo spot when the blossoms are in full bloom. Remember not to be too loud when passing through the residential neighborhood between the hill and Muakjae Sky Bridge.
Shelter and hiking tips
The pavilion at Yongcheon Stream is a nice break spot, with restrooms about 50 meters from the pavilion. Restrooms are also available next to the multi-purpose ballpark on Mugunghwa Park.
Transportation
Take bus No. 701 outside Sookmyung Women's University Station, Seoul Metro Line 4. Get off at Sangmyung University to find a road sign indicating the direction of Inwangsan Dulle-gil Trail just 258 meters away.
SPOTS
Yongcheon Spring
This spring lies past a short stone bridge along a forest trail amid the songs of birds. The views from the pavilion next to the spring offer a quaint beauty. The sound of the waters flowing beneath the bridge cleanses the mind.
Mugunghwa Park
Planted with Korea’s national flower mugunghwa (rose of Sharon), the hill is also a neighborhood park and public space for residents of the Hongje-dong neighborhood. Also here are exercise machines and a pavilion where people can sit and rest.
Muakjae Sky Bridge
This eco-bridge links the mountains of Inwangsan and Ansan, whose previous connection was severed when a road was built in between them. The eco-bridge facilitates movement of wildlife between the two mountains and promotes biodiversity. Access to the bridge is restricted at night to protect the wildlife.
