Destination briefing
Why travelers stop here
Located in Gangnam-gu, Daemosan is a low mountain with an elevation of 293m, once called Guksubong. It was originally called Halmi Mountain because its shape resembled an old grandmother, but after King Taejong's Heolleung Royal Tomb was placed here, the name was changed to Daemosan by royal order. At the mountain entrance, there is a nature learning area planted with various rare trees, loved as an outdoor education space for children and a walking path for residents. The trails of Daemosan include a ridge path along the mountain ridge and a circular trail, which remains close to its natural state. A stone tower built over 20 years and an observatory are also notable features. In particular, in 2021, a low-gradient walking path called Jarak-gil was created, allowing people who usually have difficulty hiking, such as those with disabilities, the elderly, and pregnant women, to safely use the forest path.
