Why it matters now

Gochang County's November 2026 timetable confirms the last November–February outbound train at 16:00, rather than 17:00. Reports on 12 November describe a newly completed 2.9 km trail, but current access to all sections and step-free suitability have not been independently confirmed.

Why go

Follow wetland boardwalks through pools and forest, or use the separately operated sightseeing train near the ecological park. For the restored Obeygol section, start by Gochang Dolmen Museum at 74 Goindolgongwon-gil (고인돌공원길 74); for the ecological park and train, use the eco-friendly car park at 15 Ungokseowon-gil, Asan-myeon (운곡서원길 15). Do not confuse these entrances.
