Cycling Seoul Bikepacking Review

Cycling and bikepacking in Seoul offer a unique experience with well-maintained paths and scenic routes. The Han River Trail, which runs on both sides of the Han River almost the entire length of the city, is one of the best bike paths in Seoul.

This trail is particularly popular for its accessibility and the opportunity to rent bicycles at Yeouido Park.

Additionally, Seoul’s cycling infrastructure includes quiet country trails and small roads, making it suitable for both casual rides and more challenging routes.

For those interested in bikepacking, the Four Rivers Trail is a notable route that starts from either Incheon or Seoul and extends all the way to Busan in the south.

This 633km path is mostly flat and well-maintained, offering a mix of urban and rural scenery.

Cyclists can enjoy the beauty of the Nakdonggang and Hangang rivers, as well as historical sites like the four major royal palaces and Cheonggyecheon Stream.

The Seoul to Busan route, which follows the Nakdonggang and Hangang rivers, is well-signposted and offers little chance of getting lost.

Cyclists can collect stamps at various points along the route and earn a medal and certificate of completion.

The route is particularly scenic during spring when cherry blossoms bloom.

While the Seoul-Busan route is generally considered easier due to its infrastructure and accessibility, it can be crowded in Seoul, especially around Jamsil bridge until the Seongsan bridge.

Cyclists should be prepared to navigate crowded bike paths and pedestrians in the city.

Overall, Seoul and its surrounding areas provide a variety of cycling and bikepacking opportunities, from leisurely rides along the Han River to challenging routes through the countryside.
