Imjingang Peace Wetland Reserve is the largest ecological park in northern Gyeonggi located inside the Civilian Control Line. In winter, you can observe the natural monument the crane, and in summer, the buckwheat fields bloom, while in autumn, the Cosmos sulphureus is in full bloom, creating a beautiful landscape. It is one of the major attractions of DMZ ecological tourism, and Imjingang is the seventh UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in South Korea. When the Gunam Dam was built upstream of Imjingang, the existing crane habitat was submerged, so an alternative habitat was established to protect the cranes and secure biodiversity within the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), opening in 2012. The 48,800㎡ Peace Wetland Reserve features a crane observation path, two observation decks with telescopes, ecological ponds, and a learning center. A cultivation area of job's tears preferred by cranes is maintained to supply their food. In addition, crane sculptures and a slow mailbox are installed, allowing visitors to receive letters a year later. Cranes breed in Siberia and northeastern China and appear here from late October to March for wintering; during this period, cranes can be observed through telescopes. Because it is inside the DMZ, visitors must fill out a tourism application at the military checkpoint and leave their ID cards, so carrying identification is mandatory. After passing the military checkpoint, it is 1.6 km to the Taepung Observatory, enabling security tourism. Crossing the bridge south of the wetland leads to the Yeongang Gallery, the first art space built inside the Civilian Control Line after the armistice. It takes about 45 minutes by car from Eunhyeon IC. Nearby are Imjingang Dapsari Park and a giant sculpture called Greeting Man by artist Yooyoungho, which stands about 10 meters tall. Also close are Godae Mountain Natural Recreation Forest, Hantan River Tourist Site, Yeoncheon Jeongok-ri Relics, Goguryeo Ranch, Yeoncheon Garangpo Port History Park, Yeoncheon Horogoru, British Army Seolmari Battle Memorial Park, Yulgok Yi I Historical Site, and Hwaseokjeong.
