Namhae-gun to Host Healing Island Walk Event on Namhae Baraegil Trail

Mijo-myeon Jodo and Hodo Seombaeraegil Opening Celebration

Namhae-gun, Gyeongnam Province, will hold the Namhae Baraegil Island Healing Walk event on the 20th and 21st at Jodo and Hodo in Mijo-myeon.

Namhae-gun, Gyeongnam, will hold the Namhae Baraegil Island Healing Walk event at Jodo and Hodo in Mijo-myeon.

Since 2021, Namhae-gun has been improving the old paths of Jodo and Hodo through the "Making Islands Worth Living" project and designated these as the "Seombaraegil" trails (approximately 2.3 km in Jodo and 2 km in Hodo).

Accordingly, on the 20th, a "Seombaraegil Opening Ceremony" will be held, followed by a 1-night, 2-day walking event that allows participants to experience the island both during the day and at night.

Additionally, healing programs such as birdwatching, night star gazing, yoga, and meditation will be offered, providing an opportunity to enjoy the spectacular scenery of the southern coast that can only be seen on the islands.

Considering the transportation difficulties typical of island areas, the event will be attended by selected participants who have completed the Baraegil trail through prior reservation, along with Baraegil guardians, the Korea Walking Club Federation, the Korea Travel Writers Association, the Jaegyeong Namhae-gun Hometown Association, and other volunteers.

A Namhae-gun official stated, "General visitors wishing to visit Seombaraegil are advised to visit Jodo and Hodo after the event dates to avoid congestion."

Jodo and Hodo in Namhae-gun are islands located so close to Mijo Port that they seem within reach and are accessible via the "Jodoh Ferry." The Korea Island Promotion Agency selected them as the "Island of the Month (November) 2023." Detailed information about the islands can be found on the Namhae-gun Culture and Tourism website.
