Embrace the beauty of autumn through the “2025 Namsan Dulle-gil Autumn Picnic”, running from November 1 to 30 across Namsan’s scenic trails.

With colorful foliage at its peak, visitors can enjoy guided tours, cultural performances, crafts, yoga, and photo exhibitions, all set against the backdrop of Namsan’s iconic fall landscape.

Walking, Learning, and Experiencing Autumn in the Heart of the City

From November 1 to 2, special programs will take place throughout Namsan’s Dulle-gil, including the popular “Autumn Foliage Tour” on the northern loop trail, nature and history walks, traditional archery, knot-making, forest play for children, and hands-on gardening experiences.

Participants can join activities such as healing yoga, bird-watching, and family drawing sessions, each limited to small groups for a more immersive experience.

Additionally, the “Forest Gardening” program invites visitors to create mini dried-flower garlands or terrarium “travel stones”, while children and families can enjoy “Healing-Chilling Forest Play” and other nature-based workshops at the Hannam Children’s Forest Experience Center.

Music, Art, and Autumn Memories

From November 1 to 2, the event will feature cultural programs like calligraphy postcards, a “Park Photo Studio” for family portraits, and a “Photo Keyring Workshop” using visitors’ own park snapshots. On November 2, the “Music Garden” will host a classical string trio performance at 3:30 p.m., blending live music with Namsan’s autumn ambiance.

Throughout November, the “Colorful Land” photo exhibition along Namsan’s northern loop trail will showcase images of Namsan, Naksan, and Yongsan Family Parks captured by Seoul’s park photographers.

All programs are free with advance registration via the Seoul Public Service Reservation website (yeyak.seoul.go.kr) starting October 17 at 2 p.m.
