Times are estimates at 4 km/h plus 1 hour per 600 m of ascent. Trail data is for reference - always follow signs and closures on site. The 3D and GPS screens are in Korean; the map and route work the same. 🚌 Directions opens Google Maps transit directions from where you are to the trailhead. Difficulty (Easy to Expert) is routefly's estimate from distance and ascent, not an official grade; 📈 Elevation shows the slope of each section like the park trail boards.
