Before you leave

  1. Choose your transport and reserve the long-distance legs first. Search each station or terminal shown on your actual ticket.
  2. Check local transport for each pair of stops in Naver Map or Google Maps. A search result is not a booked service.
  3. Check weather, opening hours, trail closures and the last useful return journey; reduce stops if delays occur.
