Seodalsan Nature Observation Road (서달산자연관찰로)

Located within the Sangdo-dong area, Seodalsan Nature Observation Road (서달산자연관찰로) is just exactly what it's called - a nature observation road. More like a nature trail on top of Seodal Mountain, the winding trails embedded within the concrete surroundings of high-rise apartments and typical Korean housing, give an interesting experience. While walking on the trails provided, one can catch views of the neighbouring residential and distant metropolis areas of Seoul while amongst the tall pine trees and flowery bushes and shrubs. One can also find exercise corners and even phytochemical pathways littered with ranks and files of trees that give anyone walking through these pathways a healthy dose of fresh air. The trail also links to Dongjak-dong and passes by the Seoul National Cemetery, another park by itself.
