Jangseong-gun to Create 'History and Culture Theme Trail' on Bultaesan Mountain... Scheduled for Completion Next Year

[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Yoo Doo-seok) announced on the 25th that it will create a ‘History and Culture Theme Trail’ on Bultaesan Mountain in Jinwon-myeon as part of a resident-participation tourism resource development project.

The county plans to start construction by the end of next month after collecting on-site opinions, and the theme trail consists of the History Theme Trail, History and Culture Trail, and Baekto Pass Trail.

The History Theme Trail is a walking course that lightly circles around the village, and Jinwon Village was called ‘Jinwonhyeon’ during the Goryeo Dynasty.

Near the village is Gosan Seowon, which honors the late Joseon scholar ‘Nosa Gi Jeong-jin,’ and it takes about 20 to 30 minutes to walk leisurely.

The History and Culture Trail is designed as a course where visitors can directly explore the interesting history and legends of Jinwon Village.

There are many sights such as Jinwon Fortress, built in the early Goryeo period; Janggun Cave, the stage of the birth legend of Gyeon Hwon; and Uigibawi Rock, which carries a sad love story from the Baekje era.

The Baekto Pass Trail is a climbing route that leads up to Gidae Peak at an altitude of 600 meters. The terrain is gentle up to the midpoint, allowing for an easy hike.

The county plans to install signposts and information boards throughout the theme trails and create a rest area midway up Bultaesan Mountain.

The completion is expected around next year.

Governor Yoo Doo-seok said, “Through the Bultaesan History and Culture Theme Trail project, we will rediscover the precious cultural value of the village,” and added, “We will proceed without delay so that it can serve as a signal to revitalize tourism in the southern region.”
