The DMZ Kaesong Peace Trail comprises two distinct routes named A and B. Course A, currently in operation since April 29, is a 3.6-kilometer round-trip trail. Course B, Geumgangsan Observatory, which is reopening this year, spans 7.2 kilometers and offers closer views of North Korea.

According to the Gangwon provincial government, Course B tours will run five days a week — Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays — with two sessions per day at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Applications can be made via the Korea Tourism Organization’s Peace Trail website.

Gangwon officials hope reopening the observatory after three years of closure due to border tensions will boost security tourism in the area.
