West Sea Golden Field Trail

Step onto the embankment path and walk while enjoying scenic views of open fields and the sea on either side. After resting at Gyeryongdondae Fort, take in the quaint rural scenery of Yongdure Village, then enter the Gobigogae Pass trail in Deoksan Forest Park, where welcoming woods await. Open your heart and mind to connect with nature for a moment. You can take a break at Gotchang Gutdang Shrine while looking out over Oepo Port. Reaching the fishery market brings you back from nature into the lively secular world.
