Gyeongbuk Culture and Tourism Corporation (President Namil Kim) announced on September 10 that it has selected three walking destinations in North Gyeongsang Province as the September theme for its monthly 'Travel in Gyeongbuk through Photos' series, focusing on scenic walkways where visitors can enjoy the cool early autumn breeze.

September marks the end of intense summer heat, with cool breezes in the mornings and evenings, making it the perfect time for outdoor activities. Visitors can experience various landscapes in North Gyeongsang Province, from coastal trails along the blue East Sea, to tranquil riverside forest paths, and lakeside walkways where mountains and water harmonize.

To celebrate the beginning of autumn, Gyeongbuk Culture and Tourism Corporation recommends Yeongdeok Blue Road, Andong Lakeside Promenade, and Gumi Geumo Mountain Olle Trail as ideal destinations for leisurely strolls.

The Yeongdeok Blue Road is a renowned walking spot where travelers can walk along the blue East Sea and take in breathtaking coastal views up close. With the crisp autumn breeze and the sound of waves as companions, visitors can admire the diverse scenery that unfolds along the coastline.

As you walk along the coastal path, you will encounter various sights such as pebble beaches, sandy shores, and striking rocky cliffs. In the Gyeongjeong-ri area, you can also appreciate the beauty of sedimentary formations created over many years. Other key attractions include the Blue Road Suspension Bridge near Chuksan Port and the Jukdosan Observatory. The suspension bridge offers a view of the sea below, while the observatory provides a panoramic view of Chuksan Port and the East Sea.

The Andong Lakeside Promenade is a walkway built along the Nakdong River beneath Andong Dam, where visitors can enjoy the harmonious blend of river and forest. A leisurely walk along the wooden deck and dirt paths allows you to experience the change of seasons, making it a great spot for outings with family, friends, or loved ones.

Wolyeonggyo Bridge is a major tourist attraction in Andong and is well worth a visit before or after your walk. It's a special experience to enjoy the riverside scenery from the wooden bridge or to watch moon boats floating on the water. The breeze blowing through the trees and the calm river landscape offer a peaceful escape from everyday life and a chance to relax.

The Gumi Geumo Mountain Olle Trail is a circular lakeside walkway built along the Geumo Mountain Reservoir. Spanning approximately 2.7 kilometers, it features a combination of dirt paths and lakeside decks, allowing visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of Geumo Mountain up close while strolling.

The charm of the Olle Trail lies in the mountain's reflection on the lake surface and the ever-changing scenery depending on the season. On clear days, the mountain and sky are mirrored on the water, creating a picturesque scene, while the floating bridge section gives the impression of walking on water for a uniquely enjoyable experience.

Namil Kim, President of Gyeongbuk Culture and Tourism Corporation, said, "I hope everyone will relieve daily fatigue and make healthy memories at North Gyeongsang's diverse walking destinations where mountains, seas, and lakes come together."
