Guri-si Promotes Maintenance of Achasan Hiking Trails for 'Safe Mountain Climbing'

Implementation of Maintenance Projects for Major Hiking Trails near Achasan Sirubong and Mangusan

Guri Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun is visiting Achasan to inspect the facilities for the safe and convenient hiking of visitors.

The city of Guri, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun) announced on the 8th that it will carry out maintenance of aging hiking trail sections to ensure safe and convenient hiking for visitors to Achasan Mountain until December.

The target areas include approximately 4 km of trails near Sirubong Peak of Achasan, the Achiwool Village hiking trail, and the trail from Hyeongje Springs to Mangwoo Loop Road.

Due to concerns about safety accidents caused by aging trail facilities and the need to repair some damaged trails, the city plans to remove existing facilities and create hiking trails that combine safety and comfort by repairing wooden deck stairs, installing safety fences, refurbishing rest areas, and installing walking mats, while minimizing the installation of other facilities to consider the surrounding ecosystem environment.

Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun of Guri City inspected the site directly from the citizens' perspective by hiking the trails with related officials over two days on the 4th and 5th to check for inconveniences.

Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun stated, “To provide a safe and pleasant forest recreation environment, we will thoroughly manage and improve the hiking trails so that citizens, who are mentally and physically exhausted, can safely connect with nature and heal. We will continue to make greater efforts in this regard.”
