[Wando＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyungpil] The newly established ‘Marine Healing Nordic Walking Course’ in Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do is rapidly becoming a popular course among tourists.

According to the county on the 10th, the Marine Healing Nordic Walking Course is centered around Sinji Myeongsasimni Beach and consists of the Lighthouse Healing Trail, Sea Healing Trail, and Forest Healing Trail, with a total length of 6.4 km.

In particular, the Lighthouse Healing Trail and Forest Healing Trail, where the sea and forest harmonize, are frequently visited by residents as exercise courses and by tourists as walking courses.

The exercise effect through marine healing requires consistent practice, and 5 to 8 residents of Sinji-myeon use the Nordic walking course every afternoon to exercise regularly and are seeing significant benefits.

The county plans to hold a ‘Beach Nordic Walking Competition’ in May to promote the marine healing industry and widely publicize the charm of the Nordic walking course, and also plans to operate programs linked with the Marine Climate Healing Center, which was established last year, throughout the year.
