[One Day Walk] Background of General Ondal Legend... 'Seoul Dullegil 2.0' Course 5

This is a course of about 4.6 km walking from Sagajeong Station on Seoul Subway Line 7, passing Yongmasan, to Gwangnaru Station on Line 5. It takes about 2 hours and 10 minutes. It is the fifth course among the 21 courses of 'Seoul Dulle-gil 2.0,' which Seoul City will officially operate starting this April.

The departure point is Exit 4 of Sagajeong Station. Walking straight along the road, you will notice Sagajeong Park in Jungnang-gu, Seoul, right in front of you. Walking across the park, you can enter Yongmasan. When you reach a four-way intersection, take the right path toward Yongmasan Kkaldakgogae Rest Area. Following the signposts, you will naturally enter Achasan in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.

Achasan is not only well maintained but also has rest areas and mineral springs located throughout, making trekking easy without difficulty. Enjoying along the Achasan ridge, you will find Haemaji Square. It is a plaza within Achasan famous for its sunrise views.

If you feel tired, it is worth visiting the Achasan History and Culture Promotion Center. Achasan was a strategic stronghold during the Three Kingdoms period and is also the backdrop of the legend of Ondal, a Goguryeo general known for his bravery and son-in-law of King Pyeongwon of Goguryeo, and Princess Pyeonggang. The promotion center exhibits artifacts such as rubbings of the Jungwon Goguryeo Stele, pottery, and roof tiles that allow visitors to feel the spirit of the Three Kingdoms period. You can also enjoy various learning contents, including videos about Achasan stories and images related to Goguryeo and ancient Korean history. The 'Virtual Fitting Experience Zone,' where traditional Three Kingdoms costumes are digitized and can be virtually tried on, is also fascinating. You can try on Goguryeo general uniforms, noble attire, and the clothes of kings and queens through the virtual fitting machine.

At the end of the course, you will find Achasan Ecological Park. The ecological park consists of a native plant garden, butterfly garden, wetland, ornamental rice paddies and cultivated rice fields, ecological observation paths, native plant observation paths, an ecological data room, pine forest, loess trail, acupressure walkway, mineral springs, and more. For visitor convenience, rest areas such as thatched pavilions, tile-roofed pavilions, and simple benches are installed throughout. Facilities such as restrooms and snack bars are also available.
