Comfortable Access to the Summit for Pedestrians with Mobility Challenges... Gijang-gun Opens Ilgwangsan Baramnuri-gil Trail

Busan's Gijang-gun opened the 'Ilgwangsan Baramnuri-gil' on the 20th to allow even the mobility-impaired to safely and comfortably enjoy nature.

Ilgwangsan Baramnuri-gil is a deck road approximately 750 meters long, stretching from Baramjae to the summit of Ilgwangsan. It was promoted to improve the quality of life for residents by providing a safe forest recreation space within the city.

The entire Baramnuri-gil is constructed as a deck road, designed so that even the mobility-impaired can safely and comfortably experience the forest. While the existing Ilgwangsan climbing trail had inconveniences such as obstacles in some sections, the Baramnuri-gil deck road now allows people with disabilities, the elderly, and families with strollers to safely and comfortably experience the forest.

The county expects that the creation of Baramnuri-gil will not only enhance residents' quality of life through expanded green welfare but also establish the Ilgwangsan area as a convenient attraction for external tourists, contributing to the development of the local economy.

County Governor Jeong Jong-bok said, “I hope many residents and tourists visiting Ilgwangsan will comfortably walk along the deck road and enjoy the beautiful autumn foliage and the scenery from the summit of Ilgwangsan. We will continue to expand safe and convenient forest recreation spaces to improve the quality of life for our residents.”
