Hike

Towangseong Falls Viewpoint Trail 토왕성폭포 전망대 코스

Sokcho, Seoul · 38.1530, 128.4944

A half-day out-and-back trail in Seoraksan National Park that passes two smaller waterfalls before a final 900-step stair climb to a deck facing Towangseong Falls, a 320-meter three-tier cascade that was closed to the public for 45 years until 2015. Go two or three days after rain, when the falls actually run full, and budget around two hours round trip from the Biryong Falls junction with sturdy shoes for the steel stairs. The trailhead sits at the Seorak-dong park entrance, the same base as the cable car, so it slots easily into a Sokcho day without a summit-level effort.

Local context

Most visitors funnel onto the cable car or the Ulsanbawi trail, so the stair section here stays relatively quiet even on busy weekends; locals know the falls can shrink to a thin ribbon in dry spells, so they check recent rainfall before bothering with the 900 steps.
