Hanggol Sumbau-gil is a renowned trekking course visited by numerous tourists every year. Recently, as the number of visitors has increased and more group tour buses have arrived, a shortage of parking spaces has emerged. To address this inconvenience for visitors and to provide a more pleasant trekking environment, the project was implemented.

The county invested a total of 1 billion won to build a parking lot covering 3,121 square meters at 396-2 Bukpyeong-ri, Bukpyeong-myeon, which can accommodate 17 large buses simultaneously. In addition, amenities such as restrooms for tourists have been installed.

Selected as one of the "Top 50 Premium Walking Forest Trails," Hanggol Sumbau-gil features gentle slopes, lush moss forests, and unique scenery in every season, making it especially popular among family visitors.

In particular, the trail is equipped with photo zones featuring the characters "Ikhee" and "Bau," which are modeled after moss and rocks, as well as an eco-friendly deck road and reinforced hiking paths, further establishing its reputation as a four-season healing course.

Additionally, last year the county promoted the creation of a 1.9-kilometer "Safe Walking Forest Trail" at the entrance section connecting to Hanggol Valley Sumbau-gil, aiming to enhance tourist satisfaction, revitalize the local economy, and promote the sustainable development of tourism in Jungseon-gun.

Lee Seunghwan, head of Bukpyeong-myeon, stated, "With the completion of the parking lot, we expect that the inconvenience for tourists visiting Hanggol Sumbau-gil will be greatly reduced. We will continue to do our best to establish Jungseon as a beloved four-season healing tourism city by creating a safe and pleasant forest trail environment and operating a variety of experiential programs."
