After two days of rain, the sun broke through the clouds and made way for clear blue skies and the best visibility in Seoul I have witnessed since my arrival, i.e. the perfect weather for hiking. We decided for Baekundae, which is a little bit closer to Seoul and
hasn't been frequented by us as much as Dobongsan. We did not go straight fof the Baekundae peak this time, but instead headed for the ridge leading there, which was fortified by a stone wall offering a mezmerizing view over Seoul. One could not only see all of downtown, but a
lso the Han river sparkling in the sun shine, building 63 towering on its peninsula, the antennas on top of the Gwanaksan near the SNU and the rolling hills beyond the southern reaches of Seoul. To make a perfect day even better the leaves showed all imaginable colors from yellow to bright red and green with some trees near the top already almost bare due to the strong winds. It may have been the last weekend to enjoy the autumn colors , it certainly was the prettiest I've seen. Sadly, it was also my last hike here - at least this year.
