Korea Dulle Trail is a long-distance trail that spans 4500km (2,800miles) that goes around the exterior of South Korea. The trail is subdivided into four subtrails: Haeparang Trail, Namparang Trail, Seoharang Trail, and the DMZ Peace Trail.[1] [2] Each of these trails is subdivided into routes. People who complete each of the trails are reportedly given souvenirs.[3]
Interest in such trails began around 2007, during the Lee Myung-bak administration. Haeparang Trail was the first to be developed; it began development in 2010. It informally opened in 2012, and officially opened in May 2016. In June 2016, the Park Geun-hye administration decided to add more trails that would circle the entirety of the country. Work began on the trails in earnest in January 2017. After the Moon Jae-in administration took over in 2017, the project was scrutinized and reportedly almost scrapped. It continued, which eventually resulted in the opening of Namparang on October 31, 2020. The trail is reportedly managed and funded mostly by the federal government.
