[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] A hiking trail offering panoramic views of Sancheong-eup and the Gyeongho River has been opened.

On the 16th, Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced that it has established a 1.28 km hiking trail connecting Naeri in Sancheong-eup to Daejang Village near Geumseo-myeon.

This trail development project follows a request made last June by Sancheong County Councilor Kim Su-han during a 5-minute free speech, asking for the creation of a walking path that visitors exploring the Jirisan Dulle-gil (Sucheol to Seongsimwon section) could use.

The trail, which runs along the northern foothills of Ungseokbong County Park, connects Naeri?an area with many pensions and a high number of visitors?to Daejang Village near the Geumseo Industrial Complex.

Residents of Geumseo-myeon and Sancheong-eup, as well as Jirisan Dulle-gil hikers, can enjoy walking this forest trail while taking in elevated views of Sancheong-eup and the Gyeongho River.

Heading toward Naeri, the trail links to the 6.5 km-long “Anti-Aging Sandeul-gil,” which circles the entire Sancheong-eup area along the Gyeongho River.

In the direction of Daejang Village, it is close to Donguibogam Village, Korea’s premier anti-aging wellness destination. It is also planned to connect with the “Donguibogam Siori-gil,” a walking and cycling path currently under construction to link Sancheong-eup and Donguibogam Village.

Scheduled for completion in time for the 2023 Sancheong World Traditional Medicine Anti-Aging Expo, the “Donguibogam Siori-gil” will allow visitors to Sancheong to walk or cycle from Sancheong-eup and Geumseo-myeon to Donguibogam Village.

A county official said, “We hope the Naeri to Daejang hiking trail will become a space that encourages Jirisan Dulle-gil visitors to stay longer in the county,” adding, “We will carefully manage and cultivate it to become a premium ‘wellness walking trail’ that significantly benefits the local economy.”
