Walk on Galmaetgil Trails while enjoying the gorgeous view of the ocean
Galmaetgil Trails, containing the charms of the ocean, river, mountain, and hot springs of Busan, are pleasant roads that feature the history, culture, and festivals of Busan. Walk on the nine courses, including the coastal trail, forest trail, riverside trail, and urban trail, to learn all about Busan. Course 1 Section 1-1, / 4 hr: Imnang Beach – Gijang-gun Office Section 1-2, / 5 hr: Gijang-gun Office – Songjeong Beach Course 2 Section 2-1, / 3 hr: Songjeong Beach – Millakgyo Bridge Section 2-2, / 4 hr: Millakgyo Bridge – Oryukdo Starting Point Deck Course 3 Section 3-1, / 4 hr: Oryukdo Starting Point Deck – Busanjin Market Section 3-2, / 5 hr: Busanjin Market – Namhangdaegyo Bridge Section 3-3, / 5 hr: Namhangdaegyo Bridge – Amir Park Galmaetgil Course 1 is a trail course that starts from Imrang Beach to Songjeong Beach. Walk along the East Sea to have the best view of the ocean. At the beginning of Course 1, Ilgwang Beach is a crescent moon–shaped beach that is quiet and secluded, yet it has a wide array of facilities, making it a great spot to stay at. The waves are mild, perfect for enjoying safe playtime in the water. Galmaetgil Course 2 runs from Songjeong Beach to Oryukdo Starting Point Deck. What more can I say? Walk from Busan to the famous Haeundae Beach up to Dongbaekseom Island. You will also see Marine City and The bay 101, which are known for their exotic night view. When you see Gwangandaegyo Bridge, it means you are near the beach. Next to Gwangalli Beach is Millak Waterside Park, a hot spot for young people and Namcheon-dong Cherry Blossom Street that offers an endless cherry blossom tunnel in spring. Next, you can view the vast ocean at the Dongsaengmal Observatory of Idigae Cliff, where you can see both Haeundae and Gwangandaegyo Bridge. Galmaetgil Course 3, which runs from Oryukdo Starting Point Deck to Amir Park, is a course where you can find many things unique to Busan. UN Memorial Cemetery in Korea, the only UN cemetery in the world, awaits visitors in a neat and well-established space. Once you enter, express your gratitude to the people who sacrificed their lives to help a far-away country. The Gukje Market, which became famous thanks to a movie by the same title, is where you will find any type of item. Unlike in the scenes from a movie, the market is clean and renovated. The bustling noise and excitement, however, remain the same. Experience the grand scenery of the ocean where huge ships float on the ocean at Yeongdo Jeoryeong Coastal Trail. The trail starts from Huinnyeoul Culture Village, which became famous as the filming site of the movie “The Attorney,” connecting to Taejongdae Park, a mecca of coastal trekking that features walking along the coastal line. Take a break here from your Galmaetgil journey while you enjoy the oddly shaped rocks and vast ocean at Taejongdae Park at the end of Yeongdo.
