Opened in 2013 by Uljin County at a cost of approximately 680 million won, it is now a popular healing trail, easily accessible to anyone, along a pristine valley teeming with sweetfish. In 2024, an additional 350 million won will be invested to reinforce safety facilities and complete renovations, making the trail even safer and more pleasant. It is slated for expansion into a long-distance forest trail connecting Gulguji Village and Wangpicheon Reservoir. 📌 Traveler Tips Shoes: Sneakers or trekking shoes are essential (be careful of slippery rocky paths). Camera: Numerous photo opportunities, including landscapes, wildflowers, and aquatic insects. Walking Time: Approximately 2 hours round trip. Water/Snacks: No amenities at the entrance; pre-registration is recommended. 🌐 Future Plans Extending the deck road from Mulbyeonggol to the entrance of Gulguji Village. Construction of a long-distance forest trail (towards Wangpicheon Reservoir) is underway. Upon completion, the trail is expected to become a long-distance healing course combining ecology and culture. ✨ Conclusion The Wangpicheon Botdorang Trail is a hidden gem, embracing nature, history, and healing. Unlike the typical man-made trail, experience a genuine connection with nature on this unique path where nature and ancient technology merge. June 7, 2025, at Wangpicheon in Uljin...
