Dobongsan Winter Hike | Bukhansan National Park | Seoul, South Korea

Breaking fast in Seoul.
I went on a doctor-approved hike after a short sabbatical from outdoor activities to focus on my health. My legs were heavy and an ankle was painful probably from eating too many mung bean pancakes the day previous. I love this weather, and I also love this season, even though the -10°C punished me each time I took off my gloves to take a photo.
I was the only foreigner on the trail (or at least the only one who looked so obviously different), so I was frequently asked: where are you from? In total I covered a distance of more than 8km, with an elevation gain of close to 700 meters. I finished in just over 4 hours including the times I played in snow and treaded carefully when I walked on ice.
