Rising just south of the Han River, Gwanaksan Mountain gets its name from the rocky summit that resembles a traditional Korean hat, and its proximity to downtown Seoul makes it a favorite day-hike destination. Each season brings its own charm, from spring cherry blossoms and azaleas to summer greenery, autumn foliage, and winter snowscapes, while the cliffside Yeonjudae Hermitage near the peak adds a touch of history to the trek.
서울 남쪽에 우뚝 솟은 관악산은 정상의 바위가 갓을 쓴 모습을 닮아 붙여진 이름으로, 도심에서 가까워 당일 등산으로 인기가 높은 명산입니다. 봄철 벚꽃과 철쭉, 여름 짙은 녹음과 계곡, 가을 단풍, 겨울 설경까지 사계절 다채로운 풍광을 자랑하며, 정상 부근의 연주대와 연주암 등 역사 깊은 사찰도 함께 둘러볼 수 있습니다.
