Discover the Natural Beauty of Giheung Lake
Join us this spring for a refreshing walk at the serene Giheung Lake in Yongin. Very popular among the locals for its tranquil atmosphere and natural charm, Giheung Lake offers the perfect escape from the daily grind. Whether you're an avid bird watcher, a nature enthusiast, or just looking for a pleasant way to spend a spring day, this event is for you.
We're offering four different trail options to accommodate walkers of all levels:
- Mini-Trail: Perfect for those short on time or seeking a leisurely stroll, this trail will take approximately 30 minutes - great for families with young kids!
- One-Way Trail: Ideal for more adventurous souls, this trail will cover more ground and is expected to take about 60-70 minutes.
- Round-Trip Trail: Starting from our meeting point to the lunch stop and back, this option is great for those who'd like to enjoy a longer walk without venturing too far. Expect this walk to last the duration of the one-way trail times two, with a relaxing lunch break in between.
- Walk-around Trail: You also have the option of walking around the whole lake, which is 7.5 km and takes 90 min - 120 min (from the starting point).
For the lunch break, we have two options:
Lunch Dining Break: We'll stop at a scenic spot where we can all enjoy lunch together in a restaurant. A great opportunity to socialize and enjoy the outdoors!
'Bring Your Lunch Snack' Break: For those preferring a shorter pause or wishing to maintain a brisk pace, we'll have a brief stop where you can enjoy your brought-along snack before we head back.
Schedule
10:00 a.m. meeting at bus stop "Folk Village" 민속촌입구
10:45 a.m. arrival at the mini-trail destination

This event is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Giheung Lake, famous for its peaceful trails and natural scenery. The area's moderate challenge level makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of participants, from casual walkers to more serious hikers.
Please RSVP by emailing yongin@koreatesol.org to secure your spot. Please let us know which trail and lunch option you would prefer. We're looking forward to walking with you and making the most of this beautiful spring season at Giheung Lake!
