Dutayeon Valley, Yanggu
Dutayeon is a scenic gorge and waterfall within Yanggu's restricted border region at 297 Dutayeon-ro, Bangsan-myeon. Yanggu County's visitor guidance requires access paperwork, identification and tracking equipment, and warns of landmines outside the designated route. Older general opening hours are not a guarantee for 2026, and the separate 2026 DMZ city tour requires its own booking.
- Address
- 297 Dutayeon-ro, Bangsan-myeon, Yanggu-gun, Gangwon State (official tourism address; check-in location may differ)
- Nearby transit
- A restricted border-area site, not a normal walk-in trip from a train station. The 2026 Yanggu DMZ city tour is listed from near Chuncheon Station Exit 1; confirm the specific departure and independent-access rules.
- Hours
- An older Yanggu tourism listing states 10:00–16:30 with registration closing at 14:30; these are not confirmed current 2026 walk-in hours. The 2026 city-tour stop at Dutayeon (15:10–16:15) is a group itinerary, not general admission hours. Confirm advance application, ID, military restrictions and weather before setting out.
As of 6 November 2026, Yanggu County's 2026 city-tour notice describes Dutayeon as a substitute for restricted Eulji Observatory. Tour departures and independent entry follow separate rules and can change for security or weather.
