K-Roadtrip Part I - Seoraksan

After ‘see you soon Seoul’ we continue our trip by car and head directions to the mountainous and coastal Gangwon-do region. On our way we made a quick stop at Nami Island, nice for a stroll because of the beautiful lanes of (pine) trees and nature although a bit crowded and therefore loosing some of its authenticity.

Seoraksan National Park is the highlight in this area with odd rock formations, waterfalls, wildlife and temples. Very popular amongst hikers especially the locals; almost all dressed up in their super fancy schmancy outfits. Another first for the Tiki family but why not, Yuna in the carrier with Julia and Milo hand in hand with me. From a light ascend to a steeper climb, we reached Heundeul Bawi, a 16-tonne boulder on the edge of a flat rock. We could catch a nice glimpse of Ulsan Bawi, a challenge for another time. Kudos to Milo for his first hike of 6 km (also from all the hikers we met) and a well deserved soft ice cream.Read more
