[One Day Walk] A Path with Wildflowers of Geumwangsan... Yangpyeong Course 29

12.6km from Molungo Pass to Gyejeong 1-ri Village Hall Front

Gyeonggi Dullegil Course 29 is a 12.6 km trail that runs from Molun Pass to Gyejeong 1-ri Village Hall. It is a challenging course that takes 6 hours and 20 minutes to walk along a forest road stretching from the northern to the eastern foothills of Geumwangsan Mountain.

The trail begins at Molun Pass, a place where azaleas can be seen in April and May. The pink flowers blooming brightly amidst the green foliage add to the joy of walking this path.

Continuing on, Geumwangsan Mountain features a forest trail filled with wildflowers in abundance. Along the winding forest road, you can encounter forests and trees that show different expressions in each season. This route, which ranges between 300 and 400 meters in elevation, is also enjoyed by mountain bikers. The trail surface is in good condition for walking, with no stones, and consists of soft soil or slightly grown grass.

Nearby in Seokgok-ri is the Eulmi Uibyeong Cemetery. It honors the militia who rose up in this area during the late Joseon period following the assassination of Empress Myeongseong and the implementation of the short hair decree. The site includes a memorial monument, cemetery, and a monument with recorded sayings. From a distance, the memorial appears like an ordinary grave with only a base stone and a stele. On the back of the stele, which is topped with a roof stone engraved with two dragons in relief, is inscribed the organizational genealogy of the militia at that time. The Eulmi Uibyeong served as a catalyst for patriotic movements that took place across the country, leading to the March 1st Independence Movement and other independence efforts.
