A bridge named for a gentle breeze

Sallang Bridge connects the Daei-ri and Guman-ri sides of Hwacheon. According to the county tourism guide, its name evokes a local valley name and the breeze along the river. The pedestrian bridge is about 290 metres long and 3 metres wide, with a transparent glass section offering a view down toward the water.

Two bridges, two viewpoints

Nearby is the floating Forest Bridge, which the county suggests combining with Sallang Bridge in a walking route. One offers an elevated perspective; the other sits closer to the water's surface. Their access and safety conditions may differ, so do not assume both are passable on the same day.
