[One Day Walk] Hidden Forest Paths in High-Rise Apartments... Seorigol Seoripul Nadeulgil

From Goseok Terminal Station to Bangbae Station
3.31km Distance Beginner Course

The Seorigol Seoripul Nadeulgil is a beginner-level course stretching 3.31 km from Express Bus Terminal Station to Bangbae Station, including Seorigol Park, Montmartre Park, and Seoripul Park, and takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to walk.

First, exit from Exit 5 or Exit 3 of Express Bus Terminal Station and cross the overpass to enter the entrance of Sorae Park and Seorigol Park to start the course.

Sorae Park, opened in April 2003, is a park about 6,500㎡ in size, named after 'Sorae (西來),' meaning French Village. Especially in May, many citizens visit to see the park filled with blooming roses.

Seorigol Park is not large but popular for its dense forest. It has various resting spots such as the Oak Rest Area and Grandfather Rest Area, making it a good place to relax.

As you continue walking, you will come across the 'Nuedari' bridge. Before its completion in 2009, you had to cross the road to continue the forest trail, but after the bridge connecting Seorigol Park and Montmartre Park was built, the walking course was extended. It was inspired by 'Jamsildoha,' a sericulture institution in this area during the Joseon Dynasty.

Crossing the bridge, you arrive at Montmartre Park. Established in 2000, the park is located southwest of Sorae Village, where many French residents live. The entrance road to that village is called 'Montmartre-gil,' and the park was named accordingly. The landscaping here has a deep connection with France, as a famous French fashion company sponsored it.

Walking toward Bangbae Station, you will find Seoripul Park. Near Seoripul Park is a military base, which is said to have helped preserve green and ecological spaces well even among high-rise apartments. About 2 km of forest trails stretch north to south, and due to its low elevation, it is popular as a forest walking path. At the end point is Cheonggwonsa Temple, where the tomb of Prince Hyoryeong is located.
