Bugaksan Mountain Southwestern Trail Opens Fully After 59-Year Closure

· Reviewed by the editor

The Presidential Security Service has officially reopened a 1.32-kilometer hiking trail on the southwestern slope of Bugaksan Mountain behind the Blue House (Cheong Wa Dae). Restricted from public access for 59 years due to security measures, the route now offers panoramic views overlooking central Seoul. Hikers can access the restored trail daily starting October 17 without prior security clearance.

So what

Wear sturdy walking shoes and visit the trail behind the Blue House for historic views of central Seoul that were off-limits for six decades.
