Hi, I’m Tabi!

Seongdong-gu combines Seoul Forest, Seongsu streets and a hillside river view. Begin in the park, choosing Eungbongsan separately according to your ability on steps and slopes.

This guide covers places within Seongdong-gu, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The district’s official travel map lists Seongsu bakeries, offering bread and baked-sweet options after a walk. Check ingredients, allergens and current opening rather than relying on a shop endorsement or promised menu.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Follow marked Seoul Forest paths. Use crossings and leave space for residents when continuing into Seongsu; the hillside and riverbank can be separate outings.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
