Overview
South Korea's longest walking trail links the southeastern port city of Busan with the southwestern county of Haenam via the scenic southern coast.
The Namparang (south wave) Trail, runs (1,470 km (913 mi)) from Oryukdo Sunrise Park in Busan, 453 km (281 mi) southeast of Seoul, to Ttangkkeut (Land's End) Village in Haenam, 423 km (263 mi) south of the capital. The Namparang Trail also passes through all the other scenic southern coasts and ports, including those in Gangjin, Goheung, Suncheon and Yeosu of South Jeolla Province and Namhae, Tongyeong, Geoje and Changwon of South Gyeongsang Province.
The Namparang Trail consists of 90 courses, including those of the Hallyeohaesang and Dadohaesang national parks, forests, villages and downtown areas.
The Namparang Trail is the second segment of the 4,500 km (2,796 mi) Korea Trail that stretches around the nation's entire coast after the Haeparang Trail, which opened in 2016 on a 770 km (478 mi) route spanning from the Unification Observatory in Goseong, an east coast county near the border with North Korea, to Busan.[1]
