Hiking Trails Are Opening in the Demilitarized Zone Between North and South Korea

Three trails are slated to be built in Paju, Cheorwon, and Goseong, respectively, on the western, central, and eastern parts of the border. The Goseong trail will be the first to open, and available to tourists from late April on a test run. Local municipalities will be tasked with using the approved money to install toilets, security cameras, and purchase safety equipment for hikers. Protecting the environment is also purported to be a top priority during trail construction, with already existing natural routes being used as much as possible.

The trail is expected to be perfectly safe, though given its proximity to hostile North Korea, hikers might be a little on edge.
