Quiet Trails and Sneaky Good Views

#summervacay Checked out Baekhwa Mountain and honestly, it was such a pleasant surprise. Not super famous, not super crowded, just the perfect low-key nature escape. The trail starts off nice and gentle, winding through peaceful forest with birds chirping and that fresh mountain smell that instantly clears your head. As you keep going, the incline picks up a bit but nothing too crazy. A few rocky parts here and there to keep things interesting, but overall it’s a pretty chill climb. What I loved most was how quiet it was—barely ran into anyone, so it felt like my own little personal retreat. The summit view? Sneaky good. Not the highest peak in Korea or anything, but still gives you that wide-open, sky-above-everything feeling. Great spot to sit, snack, and just breathe for a bit. If you’re into laid-back hikes that still give you a sense of adventure without the crowds or stress, Baekhwa is totally worth the trip. Peaceful and underrated, just how I like it.
