Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) has created a 'Barefoot Loess Path' in Guui Park to promote residents' health and encourage barefoot walking.

Regular barefoot walking is known to have excellent effects such as boosting immunity and improving blood circulation, leading to growing nationwide interest in barefoot walking recently.

Accordingly, following the opening of the Achasan Barefoot Trail and the Garden Barefoot Trail last year, the district unveiled the Barefoot Loess Path in front of Gangbyeon Station at Guui Park on the 22nd of last month.

The Loess Path is 2 meters wide and 100 meters long. Located in the heart of the city, it offers excellent accessibility and is equipped with foot washing stations, allowing anyone to use it comfortably.

Residents who have walked on the Loess Path expressed their gratitude, saying, "I have always been interested in barefoot walking," and "I am thankful to Gwangjin-gu Office for providing a space near my home where I can walk barefoot on soil."

In particular, shade shelters and benches have been installed around the Loess Path, which is expected to serve as a resting place where residents tired from daily life can relax while walking barefoot.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, "Gwangjin-gu offers a good walking environment including the Guui Park Barefoot Loess Path, Achasan Barefoot Trail, and Garden Barefoot Trail," adding, "I hope many residents walk the Loess Path with their families and neighbors to relieve their tired bodies and gain new vitality in their daily lives."

Meanwhile, Gwangjin-gu plans to add two more barefoot loess paths?Jungnangcheon Barefoot Loess Path and Gwangjang Retention Basin Barefoot Loess Path?in the second half of the year, operating a total of five barefoot trails.
