This is a 14 km course starting from Sinchon Village, right in front of the old bridge among the two Geoje Bridges, and it takes about 4 hours and 30 minutes to complete. It is an easy walking path composed of low-altitude trails within 200 meters and seaside walking paths, with no rough mountain trails.

The 'Nampalanggil Course 28' leaves Sinchon Village with the Geoje Bridge behind and walks along the seaside path to reach the warmly named Eumchon Village and Yangchon Village.
