Jinju City Creates Healing Forest Trail ‘Gwigeokdong Dullegil’

According to Jinju City on the 30th, following the completion of the Yangmasan district at the end of last year, the construction of the Gwigeokdong Dullegil trail was also recently finished.

This Dullegil consists of two trails: the 'Yangmasan Mulbitgil' (15.3 km), which circles from the Jinyangho Park observatory through Sangnakwon, Myeongseok Gahwari, and the Yangmasan hiking trail, and the 'Gwigeokdong Mulbitgil' (22.7 km) course connecting Sapyeong Village in Daepyeong-myeon to the natural ecological cultural trail in the Gwigeokdong area.

The Yangmasan Mulbitgil course is a hiking route that takes a wide detour along the back road of Jinyangho Park, passing through Sangchon Samgeori, and takes about 5 hours on foot.

The 'Gwigeokdong Mulbitgil,' which began construction at the end of last year and was recently completed, starts at the entrance of the Hwanghaksan hiking trail at the 'Kkakkosil Parking Lot.' The Kkakkosil Parking Lot can be reached by driving about 4 km along the cherry blossom tree-lined road following the 'Road to Gwigeokdong' signboard and guideposts from the entrance of Sapyeong Village in Daepyeong-myeon.

Additionally, walking along the lakeside, visitors can enjoy the charming spots such as the cherry blossom tree-lined road, the old well site (Big Spring), the poplar tree dock, and the old site of Gaho Seowon, while feeling the beautiful atmosphere of Jinyangho.

A Jinju City official stated, "There are displaced residents who use the 'Gwigeokho' boat to travel for farming or ancestral rites in Gwigeokdong, but the general public cannot use the Gwigeokho boat," and added, "When trekking the Gwigeokdong Mulbitgil, please observe the etiquette of taking your trash back with you to preserve the beauty of Jinyangho for future generations."
