Deck Road 1.4km, Masato Paved Barefoot Path 1.5km, Walking Trail 4.1km Total 7km Section

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] On the 8th, Pohang City held a completion and opening ceremony for the 'Oeoji Dullegil' trail as part of the 'Pohang Greenway Project,' an eco-friendly green city initiative where nature and people harmonize.

Located in Hangsa-ri, Ocheon-eup, Nam-gu, the 'Oeoji Dullegil' is a trekking road stretching a total of 7 km. It is one of Pohang's 12 scenic spots, featuring the beautiful natural landscape of Unje Mountain and utilizing the historical and cultural resources of Oeo Temple, a thousand-year-old Silla dynasty temple and a famous scenic site, making it a representative tourist attraction of Pohang.

After developing a 6 km section in 2017, Pohang City began the final trail construction project in April for the approximately 1 km section from the entrance of Hangsa-ri village, where vehicles and pedestrians previously shared the road causing inconvenience, to Anhangsa.

This trail construction project included installing a pedestrian-only footbridge connected to the Oeoji embankment, creating a deck road and one observatory to allow visitors to walk while enjoying a panoramic view of the reservoir and surrounding trees. The trail consists of a 1.4 km deck road, 1.5 km of bare-foot-friendly packed earth path, and 4.1 km of walking trail, totaling 7 km.

Mayor Lee Kang-deok of Pohang said, "Through this project, the Oeoji Dullegil will become Pohang's representative trail where people of all ages can comfortably enjoy nature and improve their health by walking barefoot. We will continue to do our best to enhance citizens' quality of life and improve living conditions by creating nature-friendly trails."
