More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the coach into a hard, cool air where the road divides history and landscape—concrete posts, guard signs and a broad river valley that seems to hold its breath. The tour threads through Imjingak’s rusted relics to the Third Infiltration Tunnel, then climbs toward Gamaksan’s suspension bridge where firs and granite cliffs keep pace with the wind.
