SEOUL · A WATERSIDE PAUSE
Hongje Waterfall
A waterfall, a coffee, a slower Seoul.
Discover an urban escape along Hongjecheon in Seodaemun: falling water, a riverside café and a walk that fits into a Seoul day.
25m high · 60m wide · artificial waterfall
Your short escape
Our suggested order: waterfall viewpoint → Cafe Pokpo → an optional walk at Yeonhui Forest Rest Area. Allow about 2–3 hours at your own pace, plus travel; this is an editorial suggestion, not an official timed course.
Driving & parking
Confirm a current public car park and its entrance before driving. We have not verified a dedicated visitor car park, rates or free parking. Do not assume that a nearby government or café car park is open to waterfall visitors.
Cafe Pokpo
A waterside café facing the falls. Visit Seoul lists 09:00–21:00 and 262-24 Yeonhui-ro. Drinks are a separate purchase; check the current menu, seating and any changes with the café.

Yeonhui Forest Rest Area sits at the foot of Ansan, with gardens and resting spaces. Add it if you have time; choose your walking route in a map app and check steps and slopes for your group.
Official tourism information ↗Food & a place to stay
Continue with the Seoul dining and hotel/hanok booking guides. Choose a property around your whole itinerary and check the door-to-door route; a waterfall stop alone does not require changing hotels.
Before you go
Visit Seoul lists free admission and waterfall operation 08:00–21:00, year-round. These are waterfall hours, not café hours. Weather, maintenance and local notices can change access or operation; check again on your travel day.
