Further route and overnight-stop guides will be linked here as they become available.

Three things to plan before setting off

  • Overnight stops: Allow enough daylight to reach your accommodation, and ask about bicycle storage before booking.
  • Maps and GPX: Check the start and end points of each file. Follow local closure and detour signs along the way.
  • Certification stops: Stamp locations and passport sales points may differ. Check the official certification-center information · Korean before your visit.
