A pale winter sun slides over highway guardrails as the minibus exits Seoul; city noise shrinks and a ribbon of river widens. By midmorning the railbike track rolls along the Bukhan River—pedals turn, cold air pushes at your face, and low hills lined with pine and bare poplars pass in a steady, scenic beat. Nami Island arrives as an ordered avenue of trees, trunks black against snow, paths compacted for brisk walking. Eobi Ice Valley presents tight cliffs and frozen curtains that crackle in the quiet, while Petite France pins bright shutters and music boxes to a hillside like a deliberate postcard.
