Gita in bici di un giorno da Uijeongbu-si a Seul

Spin out from Uijeongbu-si—famous for its budae-jjigae (Army stew) and trails on Suraksan—and head south on streamside paths. You’ll roll along Uijeongbucheon into Jungnangcheon, then link up with the Cheonggyecheon greenway for a smooth glide right into central Seoul.

It’s about 35 km and mostly flat, with just gentle rises (max elevation roughly 64 m). Surfaces are overwhelmingly paved/asphalt, and roughly three-quarters of the route is on dedicated cycleways, with only brief connectors on quiet roads and the odd busy crossing. Expect steady scenery: riverside parks, sports courts, and frequent convenience stores, water taps, and restrooms along the streams.

If you prefer wider views, you can detour onto the Han River path before turning toward downtown. The ride finishes near Seoul City Hall and Deoksugung Palace, a nice spot to cool down and grab a coffee—or continue to Gwanghwamun Square.

Tips:

• Watch for pedestrians near Cheonggyecheon, especially on weekends.
• Lights help in underpasses and at dusk.
• Hungry at the start? Try Uijeongbu’s budae-jjigae before you roll.
