The main transportation point where Gyeongwon Line(Railroad) and Mount Geumgang meet is where you can find the modern cultural relics such as Cheorwon-eup and the Labor Party Office, those which have faded into history.
This road, where the painful scars of war and division and the generous human heart of the countryside coexist, is a rather arduous journey which requires a lot of legwork with patience and perseverance.

This trail was built along the mountain ridges of Wolha-ri and Gwanjeon-ri villages in Cheorwon, near the DMZ northwest of Cheorwon-gun. Wolha-ri is a time-honored place, where the residence of Wang Geons(the founder of Goryeo), is estimated to be located. Gwanjeon-ri is the place where was located in the downtown with public offices and shopping centers during the Japanese Colonial Rule, and the population reached 20,000 in that period. Gwanjeon-ri is also a place where Songgang Jeongchol sang about King Taebong's rise and fall and the futility of time during the Joseon Dynasty, through his song Gwandong-byulgok at Bukgwanjeong, which is located in the northern part of the village. The thousand-year-old history and the joys and sorrows of life is contained in this Green Path of Cheorwon-gun.

Hanyeol course 5 is divided into three sections: "Gwanggye Flower Road" along the unidentified mine area north of Mt. Soisan, "Soisan Ecological Forest Road," which is full of trees and wild flowers, and provides a glimpse of the biggest battleground during the Korean War, and "Bongsudae Oreum-gil," which was a military operation until a few years ago. The area has been closed to civilians for 60 years, and the ecosystem is well preserved.

The course starts from Daekyocheon Ecological Park and continues along Daekyo Stream until the Hak Reservoir Ecology Trail. The course offers a beautiful and eyecatching view of the reservoir. The scenery of Cheorwon's village can also be observed, and the various story-telling courses give you a fun, interesting walk.
