Directions

Achasan is a low-lying mountain (285m) in eastern Seoul with well-marked trails, ancient Goguryeo-era fortress ruins, and an ecological park at its base featuring wetlands and wildflower meadows. The summit offers surprisingly good views of the Han River and the Olympic Park area, and the trails are gentle enough for older visitors and families. It's a genuinely local mountain almost entirely free of tourist crowds, making it one of the most authentic outdoor experiences in the city.
