Installation of Night Lighting Along the Entire 1.2km Hoam Neulsolgil in Geumcheon-gu

Following last year's 300m pilot installation, the remaining 900m section will have nighttime lighting installed... Adjusting illumination and lighting time to prevent ecosystem disruption caused by artificial light

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yuseong Hoon) has completed the installation of nighttime lighting along the entire Hoam Neulsolgil trail so that residents can walk the barrier-free forest deck road even at night.

Hoam Neulsolgil is a barrier-free forest trail created at the foot of Hoamsan Mountain to allow vulnerable pedestrians such as people with disabilities, the elderly, and women to enjoy the beautiful forest scenery, recreation, and healing benefits of the forest.

Previously, the district had installed pilot nighttime lighting on a 300m section (Hoapsa Temple to Pine Forest Bathing Area) of the total 1.2km Hoam Neulsolgil trail last year to ensure residents could use it safely at night.

The newly installed nighttime lighting section is the remaining 900m stretch from the Pine Forest Bathing Area to the upper part of Hoam 1 Tunnel. As a result, residents and tourists can now fully enjoy the entire Hoam Neulsolgil trail, a representative healing spot of the district, even at night.

Additionally, to prevent ecological disruption caused by artificial lighting, the district plans to adjust the illumination level and lighting hours (lighting on after sunset, off at 10 PM) to suit the natural green environment.

Yuseong Hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “I hope that local residents exhausted from COVID-19 can find comfort for their mind and body by enjoying the beautiful nature of Hoam Neulsolgil regardless of day or night. We will continue to strive to realize a green city Geumcheon where work and life are balanced through the continuous expansion of green SOC projects.”
