2.   Course Guide Information

Full Dasan Walking Trek Course is consisting with 13 Courses for 179.8Km which are many overlapping or completely out of main course rout. Therefore I rearranged the Dasan Walking Trek Course referring to removing these unnecessary walking course and conveniently possible daily walking distance (15 ~ 18 Km) and beautiful observatory scenery during the Course. This rearranged Dasan Walking Trek Course is starting from the Paldang Station to the Yangpyeong Station in Gyeonguei Jungang Train Line for about total 17 Km and taking 4 hours including half an hour break. The Course is starting to turn left at the Paldang Square just in front of Gate 1 at the Paldang Station and walk for a while forwarding to the Yebongsan Mountain Hike Junction where we pass the under pass tunnel as see at the Photo 05 attached. You should turn left and walk strait forward the Paldang Dam direction as soon as pass the under pass tunnel as see at the Photo 06. You could thereafter carry on walking the Namyangju Walking Trek Course (NYWTC) alongside the Hangang River and Paldang Lake until Neungnaeri Junction as see at the Photo 35 where we could observe Jeong’s Historic Site as see at the Photo 36. There was very impressive scene walking the Bongan Tunnel as see at the Photo 25. Thereafter we move toward the Woongilsan Station as soon as finish the observation of Jeong’s Historic Site.
