Dongjak-gu (Mayor Park Il-ha) announced on the 13th that it will additionally create six barefoot loess trails in the first half of the year to invigorate the daily lives of its residents.

The district is continuously expanding loess walking paths with the goal of "one barefoot loess trail per neighborhood," allowing residents to easily walk barefoot even in parks near their homes.

Previously, in the second half of last year, barefoot loess trails were opened in three parks (Sangdo, Hyeonchung, Daebang), and in the first half of this year, six parks including Nodle Naru, Gogu Hill, Seodal Mountain (next to Saimdang Cafe), Kkachisan (behind Jinhung Apartments), Dohwa, and Samil will feature loess trails.

Particularly, emphasis was placed on evenly creating healing spaces across regions so that all residents can enjoy them near their homes.

In November last year, the district conducted an additional demand survey for loess trails targeting residents and comprehensively reviewed the status of sports facilities by region to determine the optimal locations.

Each walking path will be approximately 100 meters long and connected to existing park trails. Using eco-friendly loess, visitors will be able to feel the moist and soft loess directly while walking barefoot.

For the convenience of loess trail users, facilities such as foot washing stations and shoe racks will be installed together.

Park Il-ha, Mayor of Dongjak-gu, said, "Including the six locations opening in the first half of this year, a total of nine premium walking trails will be embraced throughout the district," adding, "We will continue to expand related facilities so that all residents can enjoy high-quality sports and culture in their daily lives."
