This is the Mt. Inwang section of the Seoul Fortress Wall, on the west side of old Seoul. The wall extends all the way around the city, with an occasional break for reality (as you can see at the lower left).
 
 
 
 
 
The Seoul Fortress Wall runs 18.6 kilometers around old Seoul, not including the intermittent breaks to allow for roads. All of it is easily walked and most of it is through forest and up and down the high hills and low mountains surrounding old Seoul.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Not as bad as it looks. The morning haze lifted soon.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Old, central Seoul at the foot of Mt. Nam.
 
 
 
 
That's Gyeongbok Palace. And way off in the background, across the Han River, is the 123-floor Lotte World Tower.
