About the event
Hanyangdoseong , the Seoul City Wall is an 18+ km historical site following the ridges of the four main mountains surrounding the centre of Seoul. Construction of the wall commenced in 1396 and today approximately 14.5 km of the wall exists.
This walk does involve many stairs. Up and down. It also is unpaved in some sections. We will walk up at a gradual pace, stopping at sights of interests along the way, including an archaeological site, viewing points, and if you like, a coffee below the tower.
Let's meet at Exit 4 Hoehyeon Station (line 4).
Max. 8 participants.
Remember to wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the prevailing weather on the day.
Robyn, who is a member of BASS, will lead the way. Thank you, Robyn!
