- Baegundae Peak — The park’s highest summit and the classic reason people hike Bukhansan: huge granite boulders, a scramble near the top, and absurdly wide views over Seoul and the surrounding ridgelines (great for sunrise or just pretending the city is tiny).
- Insubong Rock — A sheer granite face that’s a mecca for rock climbers and boulderers. Even if you don’t climb, the dramatic cliffs and climbers dotted on the wall make for memorable photos and a real sense of scale.
- Bukhansanseong Fortress (mountain fortress and walls) — Old stone walls and gates snake along the ridges here; it’s a compact mix of nature and history, with sections you can walk that feel part hiking trail, part open-air museum.
- Dobongsan / Bibong Area — Jagged spires, steep ridgelines and the bird-shaped Bibong rock

- Dobongsan / Bibong Area — Jagged spires, steep ridgelines and the bird-shaped Bibong rock give this sector a wilder, more alpine feel—excellent if you want sharper terrain and fewer people on the path.
- Doseonsa Temple — A quiet mountain temple tucked into the forest. It’s a good shady rest stop, full of lanterns and prayer flags, and it slows the pace so you can actually listen to the birds and streams.
- Rocky ridgelines and scrambles — The park’s granite ridges are its personality: short technical scrambles, exposed viewpoints, and lots of photo-worthy angles. Trails here feel like real mountain hiking even though you’re inside the metro area.
- Seasonal flora and wildlife — Spring azaleas and wildflowers, vivid autumn leaves, and small forest wildlife (songbirds, squirrels, occasional butterflies) make every season worth a visit—bring binoculars if you like birding or a camera for the blooms.
