‘Barefoot Walking Craze’... Guro-gu Creates Clay Path along Anyangcheon River

Completion Ceremony Held on the 25th for 500㎡ Foot Washing Facility

Guro-gu (Mayor Moon Heon-il) announced on the 27th that it has created a 500㎡ loess path along the Anyangcheon Stream and opened it to residents.

On the 25th, the district held a completion ceremony for the Anyangcheon loess path project, attended by Mayor Moon Heon-il and about 30 local residents, and conducted an event where participants walked barefoot on the loess path.

The newly created loess path is located under Gocheokgyo Bridge on the right bank (621-8 Guro-dong) along Sodangil and the embankment road, near the Seoul Animal Welfare Support Center.

The 500㎡ loess path includes a foot-washing station for users to wash their feet, as well as handrails and stairs installed for safety.

The Anyangcheon loess path covers about a 300m section of the embankment road and Sodangil, forming a circular loop.

Walking up and down Sodangil and the embankment road allows visitors to enjoy different views of Anyangcheon Stream at eye level, which is a distinctive feature.

The district plans to look for suitable locations in urban leftover spaces or parks to create additional loess paths in the future.

Mayor Moon Heon-il of Guro-gu said, “Walking barefoot helps discharge active oxygen in the body and boosts immunity through grounding and acupressure effects,” adding, “We will expand loess paths in various spaces so that people can recover their body and mind tired from daily life through barefoot walking.”
