TREKKING

One of the simplest ways to travel is by foot. Whether it be mountain or waterside trails, floral walkways, snow-covered paths, or pilgrimage walks, trekking allows you to explore and travel any route you want, at your own pace. Korea’s mountainous terrain is bordered by the sea on 3 sides, so you can see all types of paths, from coastal ways to steep mountain trails. A representative trekking course is the Korea Dulle Trail. You can serenly walk through Korea's natural landscapes and explore various historical and cultural relics.

CYCLING & RAILBIKE

Due to the well-established bicycle roads, you can easily ride around cities like Gyeongju and Seoul, as well as the areas along Korea's 4 major rivers (Hangang, Nakdonggang, Geumgang, and Yeongsangang). If you want to enjoy Korea's truly beautiful natural scenery, renting a bicycle is a great option. Additionally, there are about 20 railbike facilities currently in operation throughout Korea, mainly serviced on closed railroads. However, in some places where the existing tracks were too narrow or inconveniently located, new railroads were laid.

HIKING

Hiking is a national hobby of Koreans. The nation's mountain hiking population totals 19.72 million as of 2021, which is 38% of the country’s population. This means that 1 in every 3 Koreans goes up a mountain at least once a month. The main reason for this may be the widely distributed mountain range topology; 65% of the country is classified as mountainous land. The mountains in Korea are under 2,000 m, and most are gently sloped with well-maintained trails. Although it is highly uncommon to come across wildlife, you should still be careful.
