Small Mountain, Big Peace, Noseongsan in Anseong

#summervacay Took a little adventure out to Noseongsan in Seolseong-myeon, Anseong (Gyeonggi-do), and it was such a mellow, feel-good hike. Not too tall, not too tough, just a cozy mountain with calm trails and some surprisingly sweet views. The path kicks off in this super quiet countryside area, and you’re straight into forest vibes. It’s mostly soft dirt trails with the occasional rocky bit, but nothing that’ll leave your legs crying. Honestly, it felt more like a nature walk than a climb, which was exactly what I needed. Made it to the top in under an hour, and the view? Pretty underrated. You get this wide-open look at farmland, hills, and little villages dotting the landscape. I hung out up there with some kimbap and just let the breeze do its thing. No crowds, no rush, just peaceful mountain time. If you’re near Anseong and want something super chill with just enough “hike” to feel good, Noseongsan is the move. Total hidden gem.
