Eungbongsan Forsythia Festival

The hills are alive!

It’s Spring and flowers are blooming. And while the cherry blossom festivals are the most anticipated and photographed, we found a gem of a mountain called Eungbongsan that annually celebrates the Forsythia Flower Festival. This year, the festival will take place on April 6-8, 2018 – days when the forsythias will be in their full glory.

Eungbonsan is an easy mountain to hike. I was with friends and our sons when we went there. There were playgrounds along the way and we would stop for the boys to play. We can’t risk them getting bored by all the monotonous walking, can we?

The steps were all lined up by forsythias blooming. Up in the mountain, you will be treated with a great view of the Yongbigyo Bridge, the river and the forsythias.

The Eungbongsan Forsythia Festival is coming up on April 6-8, 2018. Eungbong is an easy hike, if you want to bask in these bright, yellow blooms. #eungbongsan #forsythia #forsythiafestival #Springhike #springinkorea

When we hiked down, we allowed ourselves to get lost in the crowd and we found the Eeungbong Rock Climbing Park.

This is a trip in itself if you are a rock climbing enthusiast. Our boys had fun trying to lift themselves up. Apparently, there are rock-climbing classes here and all levels are welcome. For more information about this park and their classes, you may call: +82-2-2286-6061 (source)

How to go there?

Eungbongsan is easily accessible by subway. Take the Gyeongui Jungang Line and go down Eungbong Station Exit 1. There will be signs going to the mountain. You can take it from there and enjoy!

Eungbong Rock Climbing Park address: 04742 13-1 Dokseodang-ro 60-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul
