The sign that greets you the entrance
There's a little information booth in the park where you can get a map from the attendant inside. The guy we spoke to could actually speak some English and gave us a map and told us we could rent our bikes. One bike shop was along the road where we came from, but it was closed that Sunday. I would recommend you go to the one just a little further into the park. It cost 9000W for 3 hours (but you probably only really need 2 hours), and the shop-owner was very friendly. We had to leave a mobile number and an ID there. After we chose our bikes and were given a crash course in braking/standing our bike up, off we cycled! Because we were cycling in such cold weather, we definitely needed gloves and a scarf.
We cycled around for a bit, exploring the huge park and its various 'attractions'.
One of the main reasons I wanted to go to Seoul forest: Sika deer!
A quiet corner of the park
A very interesting playground
There were rabbits and a butterfly garden (which was closed) too.
We cycled around the park a few times trying to find our way out towards the all-famous Han river. Finally, we found a small nondescript path that led us out!
As the sun was setting, we stopped our bikes along the river and took some pictures. Although the wind was so cold, it was such a beautiful sight to watch the waters flow past the city lit in gold and hear the cars pass above.
Golden hour on the Han River
If you've got a day free, and have crossed out most of the things on your list already, go for a relaxing and peaceful ride in the park. I definitely recommend cycling!
