The Solbat Hwangto Trail, located in Solbat Park within the Ungsang Sports Park, features a 260-meter-long and 0.8 to 1.5-meter-wide hwangto (red clay) path, along with a foot-washing station and a wet hwangto experience area.


This area is densely surrounded by pine trees and is equipped with amenities such as pergolas, benches, and exercise equipment. Visitors can comfortably enjoy forest bathing and barefoot walking, making the trail so popular that it attracts an average of about 300 people per day just two months after its opening.


Jung Gye-young, head of the Ungsang Branch Office, stated, "I am very pleased that the Hwangto Trail has become a healing spot that promotes citizens' health amid beautiful nature," adding, "We will do our best to expand amenities such as pavilions and benches and to maintain the foot-washing station and the hwangto trail so that visitors can use the trail comfortably and safely."
