Namparang-gil Course 23

About the route

This section, which runs from Hakdong Pass in Geojewon-gu to Myeongsa Beach in Geojewon-eup, Geojedo, overlaps with a portion of Geojedo City's "Rainbow Road." The route passes through mountainous terrain, offering views from places like Yeocha Hongpo Observatory, before leading to Myeongsa Beach, allowing visitors to experience some of Geojedo's most beautiful coastal scenery. However, some sections are located on roads without sidewalks, so caution is advised when walking. Fortunately, because this section is designated as part of the "Rainbow Road," signage and other guidance are relatively well-established.
