The subway walking course introduced this time is Hagye Station on Line 7. Although it is a densely populated apartment area, it is located between Jungnangcheon Stream and Bulamsan Mountain, so a short walk allows for a suburban stroll within the city.
The start is from Exit 2 of Hagye Station on Line 7. Walking straight for about 700 meters leads to Chungsuk Park. It is famous as the burial site of Chungsukgong Byeokjin Lee clan’s Lee Sang-gil, a civil official from the mid-Joseon period during the reigns of King Seonjo to King Injo. Chungsuk Park is easily accessible and formed with dense forest, making it a popular walking trail for local residents. There is also a circular trail around the Chungsukgong burial site.
Leaving Chungsuk Park and walking about 1 km along the main road leads to Bulamsan Stadium. It is a space where you can enjoy sports and leisure activities such as soccer, baseball, and badminton. From the back hiking trail, access to the Bulamsan Dulle-gil trail is also possible.
The final course to experience is Seoul Dulle-gil Course 1. After walking 600 meters from the main gate of Bulamsan Stadium, turn right at Uam Town to see it. You first arrive at Baeksamaeul-gil, where you can see an old well and mural street used in the past.
Then, passing Zion Church and near Saemteo, you enter Seoul Dulle-gil. Seoul Dulle-gil Course 1 is a relatively gentle trekking course that passes around Suraksan and Bulamsan Mountains. When you arrive at Hwarangdae Station on Line 6, today's walking journey ends.
Main stops: Line 7 Hagye Station Exit 2 - Chungsuk Park - Bulamsan Stadium - Seoul Dulle-gil Course 1 - Line 6 Hwarangdae Station
