Beautiful Views in Jecheon & Danyang: Signature Course | Travel Course | K-Travel Mate

Located near Danyang Suyanggae Light Tunnel, Ikki Tunnel is famous as a great spot for photography. The road where Ikki Tunnel is situated was created by paving over a buried railway after the area was flooded and the railway was relocated following the completion of Chungju Dam in 1985. Although it is not actually a closed tunnel, it is called a tunnel because trees grow densely enough to block the sky. Moss began to naturally grow on both sides of the road walls a long time ago, and during the humid, rainy months of June to August, the lush green moss walls create an exotic atmosphere. The road is a narrow two-lane road but is not heavily trafficked. Visitors must check for oncoming vehicles and avoid taking photos in any risky positions or situations. Ikki Tunnel has often been featured on entertainment programs, which has led to many people leaving graffiti on the moss to commemorate their visit. To allow more people to enjoy the beauty of Ikki Tunnel for a longer time, damaging the natural environment, such as leaving graffiti, should be strictly avoided.
