Gangnam Trail
A 7.2km trekking course from Heonneung IC (Eungok Bridge) to Yangjaecheon Riverside Culture Lounge, walking the forest trails of Daemosan and Guryongsan
Starting Point
Named Daemosan by royal decree after King Taejong's Heolleung tomb was enshrined here. The 'Jarak-gil,' a gentle-slope trail opened in 2021, lets anyone comfortably enjoy the forest, and the mountain also features mineral springs and a nature learning center.
Waypoints
A restful urban green space where lush forest paths meet comfortable walking trails, equipped with a range of facilities for walking, exercise, and nature experiences for local residents.
Waypoints
A temple with a longer history than Jogyesa Temple (1396). Famous for its small 80cm Buddha statue and nestled on the slopes of Daemosan, it offers a tranquil setting for prayer and a quiet walk.
Endpoint
Legend has it that ten dragons were ascending to the sky when spotted by a person, and only nine made it — hence the name Guryongsan (Nine Dragons Mountain). Connected hiking trails let visitors trek Daemosan and Guryongsan together.

Customer Support
Heonneung IC (Eungok Bridge) is the starting point. You can begin your hike at the Daemosan foothill trail entrance.
Daemosan (293m) has a gentle foothill trail opened in 2021 with reduced slopes, so anyone can walk it comfortably. However, it takes about 3 hours — the longest of the six courses.
Course 3 is a mountain trail through Daemosan and Guryongsan, so it is walking-only. Biking is not allowed.
The Daemosan autumn foliage (October–November) is especially beautiful. In spring you can also see azalea flower paths.
Public restrooms are installed at the Daemosan trail entrance and Dalteo Neighborhood Park.
