진짜 아는 사람만 옵니다, 거대한 '수돗물 저장고' 위에 숨겨진 역대급 비밀정원

If you are looking for great walking paths and trekking courses in Seoul, how about this place for a public transportation day trip via Subway Line 9? We introduce a hidden gem in Seoul known only to those in the know: an epic secret garden filled with the fragrance of over 150 varieties of fresh flowers and herbs, and a forest path that runs beneath the Seoul Trail. However, a surprising twist lies hidden beneath this beautiful garden. Originally a massive concrete "water reservoir" facility that stored and supplied tap water to the surrounding area, Gangdong-gu did not simply block off the space but completely transformed it into the Herb Astronomical Park for the citizens. From a gentle forest trail where the ridge stretches in a long straight line for a smooth walk, to the touching historical story of Dunchon Yi Jip, a scholar from the late Goryeo Dynasty who sought refuge here to escape persecution by the authorities, this area offers a truly unique experience. The entire route consists of barrier-free deck paths without stairs and is designed to be comfortable enough for light sneakers, making it the perfect healing trekking course to visit without any burden during the hot season. Take a relaxing stroll through this mysterious garden first via video! 🧭 [Trekking Course and Usage Information] 🚇 Starting Point: Exit 3, Jungang Bohun Hospital Station (Subway Line 9) 🥾 Route: Jungang Bohun Hospital Station → Iljasan Hiking Trail Forest Path → Gangdong-gu Urban Agriculture Park → Green Way Family Camping Site → Barrier-Free Deck Path Hill → Herb Astronomical Park above the Reservoir ⏱️ Duration: Approximately 18 minutes (1km) if going directly from the station, or about 30–40 minutes if taking a walk via the Iljasan Forest Path. ☀️ Summer Visit Tip: There is almost no shade inside the garden.

We highly recommend visiting in the early morning when the sunlight is softer, or in the late afternoon or evening to enjoy the soft lighting and constellations, rather than during midday. (You might also want to combine this with your itinerary for Gildong Ecological Park, located right across the street.) #SeoulWalkingPaths #PublicTransportationTravel #DayTrip #WeekendDestinations #HerbGarden #HerbAstronomicalPark #SeoulTrail #BarrierFreePath #StrollerWalk #TrekkingCourse #SeoulTrekking #PlacesToVisitInSeoul [Chapter] 00:00 Preview 00:57 Subway Line 9, Jungang Bohun Hospital Station, Exit 3 01:55 Entering Iljasan Forest Path 02:46 Dunchon-dong Story 07:07 Iljasan Herb Astronomical Park
