Clockwise Circular Route Starting at Gallon Experience Center
Course 2 of the Chungcheong-do Yangban-gil starts at Gallon Experience Center and returns there after passing through Galleun Gugok, Sagimak-ri Gomnemi Pass, Ungyo-ri Wooden Bridge, Seonyudae, and the Yangban-gil Suspension Bridge. The recommended direction is clockwise, and the starting point is Gallon Experience Center.
The distances between sections are listed as 0.5 km from Gallon Experience Center to Galleun Gugok, 5 km from Galleun Gugok to Sagimak-ri Gomnemi Pass, 3 km from Gomnemi Pass to Ungyo-ri Wooden Bridge, 0.5 km from Ungyo-ri Wooden Bridge to Seonyudae, 2.9 km from Seonyudae to the Yangban-gil Suspension Bridge, and 1.6 km from the suspension bridge to Gallon Experience Center. These figures indicate the distances between designated points; the official total distance and total travel time for the entire course are not provided separately.
Dirt Paths Continuing from Sanmaki Old Road and Goesan’s Gugok Terrain
Chungcheong-do Yangban-gil is a walking trail in Goesan developed in connection with Sanmaki Old Road. It continues from the point where Sanmaki Old Road ends and is introduced as a route that preserves its dirt paths. The fact that the path was developed while minimizing damage to the forest provides a clue to understanding its current surface and forest landscape.
The overall plan consists of nine courses totaling 85 km, connecting Galleun Gugok, Hwayang Valley, Seonyu Valley, and Ssanggok Gugok. Initially, 25 km was developed, including Course 1, Sanmaki Old Road; Course 2, Galleun Gugok; and part of Course 3. The surrounding area features high mountains, clear water, natural pine forests, diverse trees, and wildflowers, so the route is more strongly influenced by natural terrain than an urban walking trail.
Gangseondae and Seongukam at Galleun Gugok
Galleun Gugok, included in Course 2, is listed at 29 Bido 1-gil, Chilseong-myeon, Goesan-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do. Major scenic features include Gangseondae, where an immortal is said to have descended; Okryubyeok, a cliff whose name means a cliff where drops of water gather like jewels; and Geumbyeong, described as a place as beautiful as a silk folding screen.
Other key points in Galleun Gugok include Guam, named after a turtle-shaped rock; Chilhakdongcheon, meaning a place where seven cranes once lived; and Seongukam, meaning a rock where an immortal played baduk. These names refer not to exhibits inside a separate museum but to places encountered while moving along the valley and rock formations, so the area should be approached as a walking itinerary covering the entire section.
Middle Section Passing Sagimak-ri Gomnemi Pass and Ungyo-ri Wooden Bridge
The next designated point after Galleun Gugok is Sagimak-ri Gomnemi Pass, and the distance between the two points is listed as 5 km. The distance from Gomnemi Pass to Ungyo-ri Wooden Bridge is another 3 km. Therefore, unlike a short walk that only visits Galleun Gugok and returns, this is a key section for which visitors should prepare to travel along dirt paths for several hours.
The address provided to users is San 34, Sagimak-ri, Cheongcheon-myeon, Goesan-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, but the departure address in the course information is Gallon Experience Center, 547 Chilseong-ro 10-gil, Chilseong-myeon, Goesan-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do. Rather than assuming that entering only the address and coordinates will take you directly to the starting point, it is more suitable for the route to set Gallon Experience Center as the navigation destination. The surface is described as a dirt path, and stroller rental is unavailable.
Final Section Returning from Seonyudae and the Yangban-gil Suspension Bridge
The distance from Ungyo-ri Wooden Bridge to Seonyudae is 0.5 km, while the distance from Seonyudae to the Yangban-gil Suspension Bridge is 2.9 km. Goesan County describes Seonyudae as a scenic point along the course and explains that the view from Seonyudae is tranquil and beautiful.
The distance from the Yangban-gil Suspension Bridge to Gallon Experience Center is 1.6 km. Separate Course 2-1 continues from the Yangban-gil Suspension Bridge through Ungyo-ri Wooden Bridge and Deokpyeong Samgeori to Yongsegol, so visitors should check the circular route toward Gallon Experience Center to avoid mistakenly taking another course at the suspension bridge.
Taking a Bus from Goesan and Walking to Gallon Experience Center
Public transportation users are advised to take a bus from Goesan to Chilseong Sujeon. Departure times are 06:30, 07:50, 11:10, 12:30, 14:00, 15:10, 17:10, and 17:50. The walk from Chilseong Sujeon to Gallon Experience Center is listed as approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, meaning a long walk remains from the bus stop to the course starting point.
For the return trip, buses from Chilseong Sujeon to Goesan are listed at 07:20, 08:10, 11:35, 12:50, 14:20, 15:30, 17:30, and 18:05. Since the intervals are irregular and the final return time is fixed, visitors should allow plenty of time when planning to match the bus after completing the course. Bus times may change; the currently listed times are shown above.
Car Parking and Seasonal Hours
By car, the route from Jeungpyeong IC or Yeonpung IC to Chilseong Town is approximately 25 minutes, and the route from Chilseong Town to Gallon Experience Center is approximately 15 minutes. Gallon Experience Center is listed as having parking facilities, but no parking fee is provided.
Operating hours are 09:00–18:00 in summer and 09:00–17:00 in winter, and the facility is listed as open year-round. However, the official total course time and admission cut-off time are not provided, so in winter it is safer to start early enough to finish before 17:00.
Admission Fees, Telephone, and Possible On-Site Restrictions
The official Chungcheong-do Yangban-gil information page does not list an admission-fee category or amount. Therefore, the admission fee that can be stated here is “official amount not provided,” and it cannot be assumed that there is an adult fee or a separate ticket office. The course inquiry telephone number is 043-830-3451.
Information indicates that credit cards cannot be used, strollers are not available for rental, and pets are not permitted, so care is needed when planning on-site payment and accompanying visitors or animals. Information about photography restrictions, English guidance or audio guides, wheelchair accessibility, and seasonally restricted areas is not provided. Since the course has dirt paths and details about slopes and stairs have not been confirmed, wheelchair and stroller users should realistically inquire by telephone in advance about suitability. Facility liability insurance is listed as a safety-facility provision.
Why You Should Enter Gallon Experience Center as the Destination
The official starting point of this course is Gallon Experience Center, whose listed address is 547 Chilseong-ro 10-gil, Chilseong-myeon, Goesan-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do. In contrast, the address provided for location verification is San 34, Sagimak-ri, Cheongcheon-myeon, Goesan-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do. The relationship between the two addresses is not explained in the information materials, so first-time foreign visitors should enter Gallon Experience Center as the navigation destination rather than entering only the Sagimak-ri address.
Official tourism information can be found on the Goesan County tourism website at https://www.goesan.go.kr/tour/index.do. If you aim to complete the course, marking Gallon Experience Center, Galleun Gugok, Sagimak-ri Gomnemi Pass, Ungyo-ri Wooden Bridge, Seonyudae, and the Yangban-gil Suspension Bridge on the map in that order makes the clockwise route easier to understand.
