Suncheon City announced that it will operate the premium hiking program '2025 Suncheon 978m Hiking,' which connects Suncheon's representative ecological attractions and world heritage sites, over a total of three sessions from November 15 to November 23.

The '2025 Suncheon 978m Hiking' is a follow-up program planned based on the achievements of the 'Three Peaks Trail Run' held in October. It aims to serve as a sustainable ecotourism model where nature and people coexist.

This ecological hiking challenge connects Seonamsa Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and Suncheonman Bay Wetland, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. Participants will journey along the symbolic altitude of 978 meters, from Jogyesan Mountain (888m) to Yongsan Observatory (90m), weaving together Suncheon's nature, culture, and people into a single experience.

The hiking course starts at Songgwangsa Temple, passes through Janggunbong Peak and Seonamsa Temple, and continues to Yongsan Observatory at Suncheonman Bay Wetland. It is designed as a one-day experiential program under the themes of 'mountains and wetlands' and 'culture and ecology in harmony.'

Participants will enjoy a wellness journey in nature through world heritage storytelling, ecological exploration, and a mountain vegetable gourmet experience that captures the flavors of the wild. In addition, those who complete the course will receive a '978m Challenge Certification Souvenir.'

A city official stated, "The 978m Hiking is a wellness tourism content unique to Suncheon, where the stories of Suncheon's nature, world heritage, and people are connected as one," adding, "We aim to set a new milestone in ecotourism that showcases the true charm of Suncheon, a city where nature and people breathe together."
