On the 28th, Section 1 of the Bonghwasan Barrier-Free Forest Trail in Jungnang-gu Opens... Named 'Bonghwasan Donghaeng-gil'... Connecting Bongsudae Park behind Jungnang-gu Office to Bonghwasan Summit... Rest Areas and Observation Decks Set Up Along the Trail... Section 2 Scheduled for Completion in December

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) is opening a barrier-free forest trail on Bonghwasan, the district’s representative mountain, with an opening ceremony on the 28th.

The Bonghwasan Barrier-Free Forest Trail, which is being inaugurated this time, is the first section of two sections being developed on Bonghwasan. Section 1 stretches 1.6 km from Bongsudae Park behind Jungnang-gu Office to the summit of Bonghwasan.

The trail has also been officially named. The name of the Bonghwasan Barrier-Free Forest Trail is ‘Bonghwasan Donghaeng-gil,’ meaning that anyone visiting Bonghwasan can climb the mountain together without inconvenience.

Thanks to the gentle slope of less than 8.3%, the barrier-free forest trail allows everyone, including wheelchair users, stroller users, and elderly people with walking difficulties, to climb Bonghwasan without any burden.

Rest areas and observation decks are installed along the trail so visitors can comfortably rest when tired. A total of 13,400 trees of 11 species, including fir and hornbeam, have been planted, allowing visitors to leisurely enjoy the mountain’s atmosphere while walking.

In particular, facilities such as wheelchair chargers and accessible restrooms for electric wheelchair users have been installed to enhance residents’ convenience. The wheelchair chargers can charge two electric wheelchairs simultaneously and also inflate tires, so users do not need to worry about power consumption.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “When the second section is completed by the end of this year, including the 0.8 km barrier-free forest trail created in 2018, a total of 3.93 km of barrier-free forest trails will be available on Bonghwasan. We hope everyone can freely climb the mountain and take time to soothe their weary minds.”

Meanwhile, the second section of Bonghwasan Donghaeng-gil, a 1.53 km trail from the Children’s Forest Experience Center in Muk-dong to the summit of Bonghwasan, is scheduled for completion this December.
