Umyeonsan Natural Ecology Park

Umyeonsan is a 293 m-high mountain that can be easily climbed from the urban areas of Umyeon-dong, Seocho-dong, and Yangjae-dong in Seocho-gu. It is named Umyeonsan ('sleeping cow mountain') because the mountain is shaped like a dozing cow. On the southern foot of the mountain there are dolmens from the Bronze Age, showing that this area has long been the home of our ancestors.
Umyeonsan is designated and managed as a Seoul urban nature park. Its walking and hiking trails link mineral springs such as Taegeuk, Yujeomsa, and Seocho Yaksutteo with cultural heritage sites, temples, and cultural venues such as Daeseongsa Temple, the tomb of Jeong Do-jeon, the shrine of Yi Jon-o, and the Seoul Arts Center, offering city residents a cozy retreat. Rather than a neatly arranged learning ground, it lets you enjoy nature as it is.
