    1. 01
      Choose walking or cycling and a return point

      The 384-metre tunnel is one segment of the Seomjingang cycling route, not a complete loop or a guarantee of bicycle rental and transport.

    2. 02
      Use lights and shared-path etiquette

      Allow space for opposing riders and walkers, control speed and recheck lighting, surface, maintenance and flood notices.

    3. 03
      Decide the return before continuing

      The river, old bridge piers, recreation area and campground beyond the tunnel are separate destinations with their own access and operating conditions.

    3. Visit flow

    1. 01
      Before setting out

      Choose walking or cycling and a return point

      The 384-metre tunnel is one segment of the Seomjingang cycling route, not a complete loop or a guarantee of bicycle rental and transport.

    2. 02
      During the continuous-access listing

      Use lights and shared-path etiquette

      Allow space for opposing riders and walkers, control speed and recheck lighting, surface, maintenance and flood notices.

    3. 03
      At the far portal

      Decide the return before continuing

      The river, old bridge piers, recreation area and campground beyond the tunnel are separate destinations with their own access and operating conditions.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Carry a light even when fixed tunnel lighting is expected, and use reflective equipment on a bicycle.
    • Slow before the portal and blind sections because walkers and opposing riders can enter unexpectedly.
    • Save the return route offline and do not assume a rental bicycle can be left at the far end.
    • Search “전북특별자치도 순창군 풍산면 대가리 순창 향가터널” 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 audited coordinate identifies the named destination, but the final gate, parking area and step-free entrance still need a live route check.
