I would like some general ideas on hiking across Korea (sea to sea, not Seoul to Busan). For example, what would be the most scenic route? How many days approximately? When is the best time (I think maybe May or the end of September?).

Okay, I think I had once heard that there is a walking trail spanning the East Coast of Korea. If this is true, does anyone know the name?

There is a mountain ridge that goes the whole way across Korea, including North Korea. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baekdudaegan

I would love to do some long distance hiking, but I'm not sure there are any long-distance paths, and the topography is hellish (up, down, up down and steep). But please keep us updated if you find anything.

I don't think there's a coast path, you'd probably find yourself road walking for long stretches.
