Yeoncheon, 'Narutbae Village' in Pristine Nature

Located in the northernmost part of Gyeonggi-do along the frontline border, Yeoncheon offers pristine, unpolluted nature within the DMZ along with peace tourism. At Narutbae Village, located behind Jangpanaru, taking a leisurely tractor ride around the Civilian Control Line is popular among children. It is filled with rural experiences that parents and children can enjoy together, ranging from classic harvesting activities like rice and peanut picking to making mugwort rice cakes, tofu, and apple glutinous rice gochujang (red chili paste). From Herb Village overlooking the Imjingang River to the scenic Columnar Joints in Dongi-ri and Jaein Falls, a day in Yeoncheon is immersed in pure nature.
