What does the evidence cover?

The park department describes Haneulsup-gil (하늘숲길) as a 1.45 km barrier-free forest trail with an 8% gradient. Its library-side approach reaches Sowol Garden (소월정원) via the Namsan Library stop. This is a documented option to assess, not a tested accessible journey.

  2. For the library-side entrance, follow the park’s Seoul Station → bus 402 or 405 → Namsan Library stop → Sowol Garden (소월정원) directions. Check the current boarding point and service before setting out.

  3. For an approach from the summit, use the park’s Yejang → 01A or 01B → 남산정상부 팔각안내센터 → connecting safety deck → Health Garden (건강정원) directions. Treat the deck connection as a separate access check.

  4. Use 노을전망대 for the Noeul viewpoint on the forest trail, or choose a forest rest stop from the park’s guide. Confirm access and your return before walking; the guide’s night-view description is not a last-bus timetable.
