According to the county on the 20th, the Dalma Trail Healing Festival is a walking festival held along the 17.74 km circumference trail Dalma Trail, created on Dalma Mountain where the beautiful Mihwangsa Temple is located, and it will be held for the first time in four years since 2019.

Held under the theme ‘Our First Spring, Together with Dalma Trail,’ this festival features a walking event to fully enjoy spring while walking the Dalma Trail, along with a healing music concert with various performances such as forest busking, jazz, fusion gugak (traditional Korean music), and gayageum byeongchang (gayageum accompanied singing) that can be enjoyed on the trail.

Additionally, there will be various attractions and activities such as healing experience events including Nordic walking and meditation, an SNS photo certification event, and Dalma Market selling Haenam specialties.

County Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan said, “Through this Dalma Trail Healing Festival held for the first time in four years due to COVID-19, we have prepared a place of healing where people can feel rest and joy to comfort the daily lives of those who have been exhausted,” and added, “We hope many people will come and take time to pledge a new beginning in Haenam, the land where spring arrives first.”

The Dalma Trail, created on Dalma Mountain in Haenam where the outstanding mountain terrain and the scenic Dadohae (Korean archipelago) blend harmoniously, is a 17.74 km circumference trail winding around the mountain’s midsection starting from Mihwangsa Temple.

The Dalma Trail is a circumference trail where you can walk while overlooking the Dadohae with the backdrop of the magnificent Dalma Mountain’s unique rock formations. It was created entirely by hand without using heavy machinery to minimize environmental damage and was constructed preserving the old path rich in historical and cultural resources.

Since its opening in November 2017, it has been visited by over 200,000 people and has established itself as a top premium trail favored by travelers.
