During the Korean War, nine fierce battles took place in Yanggu. Not a single tree or a single blade of grass survived, so how many young lives must have oxidized there. From the Eulji Observatory, North Korea is as close as you can get, and you can see the peak of Mt. Geumgang with the naked eye. It is a land that is close but farthest, a place that makes you think about the word ‘unification’ that you have forgotten in your busy daily life. Eulji Observatory, the 4th Tunnel, and the Yanggu War Memorial are the three major security tourist attractions in Punchbowl. Dutayeon is the best trekking course where you can feel clean nature with your whole body. It was a civilian-controlled area until it opened in 2004, so the natural appearance was preserved. Park Soo-geun Museum of Art, which brought the wind of culture and art to Yanggu, ‘Lee Hae-in Poetry Space, Kim Hyung-seok and Ahn Byung-wook Philosophy House’ (abbreviated as Lee Hae-in Poetry Museum), National Astronomical Observatory and camping ground, Yanggu Goat Breeding Restoration Center, Gwangchi Valley, etc. 1 night There are numerous attractions that are good to visit in a two-day itinerary.
