Quiet Trails, Sweet Views, and Zero Hassle

#summervacay Seoksongsan Peak is one of those low-key gems you almost don’t want to tell people about. Tucked away in Ansan, it’s super chill and perfect if you’re just looking to escape the noise for a bit without going full hiking mode. The trail’s not too long or tough, just enough uphill to get your legs moving, but still totally doable even if you’re not a regular hiker. The path winds through trees, so it’s shady and peaceful most of the way. When you get to the top, boom, nice wide-open views of the city and surrounding mountains. It’s especially pretty during sunset or in the fall when the leaves pop off. Hardly any crowds, which makes it feel kinda like your own secret spot. No gear needed, just sneakers, some water, and maybe a snack to enjoy at the peak. It’s the perfect quick nature fix when you want to clear your head or just get a little fresh air without a huge time commitment.
