August 22, 2025,Seoul City Wall Walk: Stadtmauer der Superlative [Südkorea]

The Seoul City Wall Walk is certainly one of the most beautiful and spectacular hikes you can do in Seoul. The trail leads along the old city walls of Seoul over the ridges of the four inner-city mountains: Baegaksan, Naksan, Namsan, and Inwangsan.
