1. Preface
The
Namyangju Walking Trek Course along with Bike Road was renovated with old
abandoned narrow gauge rail course and opened in 2011 as a nice Walking Trek Course
exclusive for the bike and person. This Course is linked with Dasan Walking
Trek Course from Paldang Station to Woongilsan Station in Gyeonguei Jungang
Train Line. Therefore I rearranged the Dasan Course to the Namyangju Walking
Trek Course 1 as see at the Namyangju Walking Trek Course Table attached below.
In this regards, total Namyangju Walking Trek Course turned eventually out as
45 Km and 13 walking hours including 3 hours break.
