Creation of an Accessible Sharing Path at Achasan Sirubong Fortification
The city of Guri, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun) announced on the 23rd that it has secured funding of 1.65 billion KRW by being selected for the '2025 Lottery Fund (Green Fund) Support Project in the Forest Welfare Barrier-Free Sharing Path Sector.' The total project cost is 3.3 billion KRW.
This contest is part of a project by the Korea Forest Welfare Institute to support the expansion of green infrastructure through the lottery fund (Green Fund). After applying for the barrier-free sharing path creation project in July, Guri City achieved the great success of being selected as one of three nationwide sites (annual project) following a strict evaluation including on-site inspections.
The target area includes forest land such as San 157-1, Gyomun-dong, near Sirubong of Achasan Mountain.
This site is even more meaningful as it is forest land of about 30,000 pyeong owned by local resident Kim Hyun-wook, who inherited it from his parents in April and donated it to Guri City for the city's development.
The Achasan Sirubong Barrier-Free Sharing Path is planned to be developed with 2 km of barrier-free deck paths and 1.9 km of dirt paths, including ▲Healing Forest ▲Forest Rest Area ▲Children’s Forest Playground ▲Observation Deck ▲Parking for Disabled, aiming to create a forest trail accessible to walking-vulnerable people. The project will be carried out as an annual project from 2025 to 2026.
Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun of Guri said, “Sirubong Fortress is a strategic military point of Goguryeo during the Three Kingdoms period and offers a scenic view of the city center and the Han River.” He added, “Through this project, we will do our best to create a space where citizens can comfortably experience the region’s nature and cultural heritage.”
