A View from Above

Since I’ve come to Korea I have taken up hiking on my days off.  Actually because I work on Saturdays, I only get one day off each week.  It sucks but I did know about it when I came here so I’ve only got myself to blame for that.  So I have to make the most of my spare time as there never seems to be enough of it.

Korea is a beautiful country, and it’s full of mountains!!   I’ve only managed two hikes thus far because I’ve been sick for the last two Sundays.  The first hike was Gyejoksan, which is more of a hill than a mountain with a height of about 480m, but it’s a great starting point for beginners.  From here you get an excellent view of the city.  The second is Daedunsan which is a really great hike, it’s about 870m to reach the peak, and it’s worth every step.

The video here shows ‘A View From Above’ from each peak.  Daedunsan actually has a lot of peaks, but the one shown here  provides a great vantage point.
