충혼탑

A solemn 30-metre memorial at the foot of Apsan honouring people from Daegu who died defending Korea during the Korean War, with renewed memorial chambers on both sides of the tower; the grounds are listed always open with parking, but ceremonies take priority, so keep voices low, avoid recreational posing around memorial spaces and confirm access on national remembrance dates.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Check for a memorial ceremony

      The grounds are listed year-round and always open, but official remembrance events, security, maintenance and floral tributes take priority over casual visits.

    2. 02
      Use the site as a solemn memorial

      The 30-metre tower and renewed memorial chambers honour Daegu residents who died defending Korea. Keep voices low and follow every chamber, flower and ceremony boundary.

    3. 03
      Separate the memorial from a park route

      An open memorial ground does not establish a safe mountain trail, cable-car service or night return. Plan any Apsan activity independently.

    • Keep tripods, group poses and food away from the central memorial axis, steps and flower areas.
    • If adding an Apsan walk, make a separate weather, route and daylight decision after the memorial visit.
    • Search “대구 앞산 충혼탑” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
    • Hours, admission, closures and programme schedules can change; use the official source before departure.
    • The catalogue coordinate is an approximate centre pin, not turn-by-turn entrance guidance.
