Highlights
The Bukhangang Bicycle Path connects Seoul with Chuncheon City, covering a route of 70.4 kilometers along the North Han River (Bukhangang). It follows an old rail line, passing by scenic lakes, riverside parks, and small mountain ranges.
Let’s explore its highlights and unique features.
Chuncheon City sits northeast of Seoul along the North Han River (Bukhangang). Known as the “Romantic City,” it blends urban life with historical and cultural highlights, from architectural landmarks like the Soyang River Skywalk to culinary experiences on Chuncheon Dakgalbi Street.
Lake Uiam is a man-made reservoir near downtown Chuncheon City, Gangwon State. Created in 1967 with the construction of Uiam Dam, which powered South Korea’s modernization efforts in the mid-20th century. The dam not only supplies electricity but also regulates water flow to prevent flooding in the region.
Spanning an area of 15 square kilometers, the lake stretches 8 kilometers in length and 5 kilometers in width, nestled in a mountainous landscape below Samak Mountain.
Jara Island and Gapyeong Town lie along the North Han River in the heart of Gapyeong County. They offer a unique blend of natural beauty and manmade attractions, from the scenic landscapes of Jara Island to the historical and cultural landmarks found in Gapyeong Town.
Namyangju Water Garden is a vast riverside ecological park nestled along the scenic North Han River in Namyangju City.
Spanning 484,188 square meters, it was established in 2012 as part of the Four Rivers Restoration Project, a nationwide effort to enhance the nation’s rivers and provide recreational spaces.
The garden’s design creates a tranquil environment for visitors to unwind, connect with nature, and enjoy diverse seasonal landscapes, blending of wetlands, open spaces, and themed trails.
