Gwanaksan Accessible Forest Trail

Getting in

Entrance

The main entrance and its approach have no steps or level changes, and the slope is gentle. You can move in and out freely by wheelchair.

Trail start

The trail begins about 1.5 km on foot from the hiking entrance on the Seoul National University side. Allow time and energy for this stretch.

Park gate

Past the Gwanaksan Park gate, a wide paved road appears to continue. Signs appear to ban cars and motorcycles, so you may not be able to drive further in.

Inside

Paths

The trail is a wide wooden deck with no steps or level changes. Slopes stay under 8%.

Routes

The trail has a loop section and a climbing section, so expect some uphill.

Handrails

Handrails are in place, but how much of the trail they cover is not known.

Toilets

You can use the accessible toilet comfortably by wheelchair. The door appears to be marked "multipurpose toilet" (다목적화장실), and the wide stall appears to have fold-down grab bars on both sides.

Also useful

Charging

There is a power wheelchair charger at the trail entrance, so you can charge after your visit to the trail.

Baby care

The toilet has a diaper-changing table. There is no family toilet, nursing room, or stroller rental or storage.

Hearing

There are no facilities for deaf or hard-of-hearing visitors, and no sign language or other visual information.

Vision

There may be Braille information boards, but where they are is not known.

Parking

Accessible parking may be easy to use, or it may be a little hard to use.
