The DMZ Punch Bowl Trail is a basin developed on high ground at an altitude of 400–500 m located in Haean-myeon, Yanggu-gun, and extends about 22 km to the northeast of Yanggu-gun. It is also called the Yanggu Punch Bowl Trail, and the name originated from a war correspondent who looked toward Haean during the fierce battles of the Korean War and likened the shape of this place to a punch bowl. In addition, it is a 73.2 km forest trail created so that visitors can experience forest culture and history centered on themes related to war and peace, and it has four courses: the Path of Peace, Oyu Field Trail, Mandaebeolpan Trail, and Meonmetjae Trail. As a Civilian Control Line area where the Armistice Line is located, visitors can enjoy security tourism such as the 4th Infiltration Tunnel, Eulji Observatory, Yanggu Unification Hall, War Memorial Hall, and the Marine Corps Battle Site.
Independent exploration is prohibited, and you must be guided by a forest trail hiking instructor. An additional guide is assigned for every 20 people, first-aid medicine is kept on hand, safety insurance is provided for visitors, and 19 nationally designated number markers are located along the forest trail.
