Korea has 23 national parks and each park has a few or tens of trails. Among those trails, it is very hard for new comers to choose which trail you should go for hiking. Then to introduce the most representative or popular trails, I will make postings here by selecting a couple of best trails for each park. At the end, the total number of trails I will explain here would be around 70 trails.
In June 2024, I co-authored and published an English hiking guidebook for foreigners named “Hiking the National Parks of Korea”. In the book, we introduce two most scenic trails for each park which comes down to 46 amazing trails in total. Many trails in my posting are likely to be overlapped with the book, but with more pictures and details.
If you are impatient to find out the best trails in Korea National Parks, you can buy the book right now. It will be a great guide for you when you plan to go hiking to national parks in Korea.
