Hillfort in South Korea

On the slope of Mt. AchaSan (아차산 峨嵯山, 283m alt.), there lies a hillfort at 200m alt. point. This is believed to be the AdanSan (아단산) fortress where the King Gaero (개로왕 蓋鹵王) of Baekje kingdom was executed by the aggression Goguryeo kingdom army in 475 CE, as the result Baekje abandoned the capital Seoul and relocated at Ungjin (nowadays Gongju (공주) city)).
Originally this fortress is called AdanSan (阿旦山), the miss spelling of Chinese character caused the alteration of the name; AchaSan (阿且山), and now another characters of the same pronunciation 峨嵯山 have applied.

The fortress surrounds a mountain ridge for 1000m but now is surrounded by the modern fence and it difficult to observe the details of the rock piled wall.

The shortcut path to this site begins at 37.55178 N, 127.10329 E but rather monotonous, another approach Mt. AchaSan trekking path (begins at 37.55276 N, 127.09962 E) contains beautiful valley, cascade and the great distant view of the Seoul city, is very enjoyable and crowded Seoul citizen.
