Taking a Walk in Donggureung While Reciting Poetry

Joseon Royal Tombs Eastern District Office Pilots 'Donggureung Forest Trail Walk Rest' Program

Donggureung Gyeongneung~Yangmyojang Forest Trail

The Joseon Royal Tombs Eastern District Management Office and Guri Education and Culture Center announced on the 2nd that they will pilot the "Donggureung Forest Trail Walk and Rest" program every Thursday at 1 PM from the 5th to the 26th. This forest trail healing program allows citizens weary from daily life to recharge their body and mind in the forest surrounding the royal tombs. Participants will walk 1.5 km along the beautifully autumn-colored Donggureung Gyeongneung to Yangmyojang trail with poet Kang Jaehyun, engaging in poetry recitation, letter writing, and meditation. Each session accommodates twenty participants. Reservations for up to four people per individual can be made starting at 10 AM on the 2nd via the Joseon Royal Tombs website. An official stated, “Based on the results of the operation, we will decide whether to incorporate this into the Joseon Royal Tombs forest trail utilization programs.” The two organizations will also hold the "I am the Donggureung Guardian Neungchambong" event for youth (5th grade elementary to middle school students) on the 7th and 14th. This experiential event will allow participants to experience the daily life of a Neungchambong, conveying the breath of history, culture, and nature intact.
