Pocheon City (Mayor Baek Younghyun) announced that it has established a new forest tourism facility called “Unaksan Cloud Trail” on Unaksan Mountain, the central axis of the Hanbuk Jeongmaek range, and officially opened it to the public starting on the 7th.

The Unaksan Cloud Trail was created to utilize the unique topography of Unaksan Mountain, including its oddly shaped rock formations and scenic mountain features. It consists of a suspension bridge crossing a rock wall at around 800 meters above sea level and a cantilevered walkway that follows along steep cliffs.

The suspension bridge is a pedestrian bridge installed at one of the highest elevations of its kind within South Korea, and the cantilevered walkway also boasts a leading altitude among similar domestic trails. Visitors can enjoy exhilarating mountain leisure activities with panoramic views that give the sensation of walking on clouds.

On September 6th, a day before the official opening, Mayor Baek Younghyun, relevant officials, and local residents conducted an advance on-site inspection. Participants walked across the suspension bridge and the cantilevered path, thoroughly checking the structural stability of the facilities, railings and fall prevention systems, as well as pedestrian safety management.

Pocheon City is also planning follow-up projects to enhance the safety of the Cloud Trail and improve connectivity with existing hiking routes. In 2027, the city plans to create a new, gentler hiking trail bypassing from the endpoint of the cantilevered walkway toward the Daegwol site. This is intended to provide beginners and ordinary hikers, who may find the more difficult ridge sections challenging, with an alternative route and to reduce the risks of getting lost or injured.

In preparation for increased visitor numbers during the autumn foliage season, the city will reinforce informational facilities and continue to maintain its mountain rescue cooperation system.

Mayor Baek Younghyun stated, “The Unaksan Cloud Trail is a new landmark for Pocheon, overcoming the challenges of rugged mountain terrain to offer citizens the natural beauty of the Hanbuk Jeongmaek. We will make every effort to ensure thorough safety management so that hikers can enjoy this premium forest trail with peace of mind.”
