Last off-limit mountain trail near Cheong Wa Dae to open to public after nearly 60 yrs

The Presidential Security Service (PSS) has announced that a 1.32-kilometer-long mountain trail near the presidential office of Cheong Wa Dae will be open to the public, nearly six decades after it was designated off-limits. This marks the final opening of the three major trails on Mount Bukak, which were previously inaccessible to the public.

The 2.2-km trail in the northern part of the mountain was opened in 2020, followed by a 3-km trail in the southeastern part in 2022. Starting on Saturday, the public will have round-the-clock access to the new southwestern trail, making Mount Bukak fully open to the public, according to PSS chief Hwang In-kwon.
