    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Route to the exact roadside shelter

      Use 179-18 Gongnyong-ro rather than a general Jeori pin. The current catalogue lists continuous free access but no visitor parking facility.

    2. 02
      Read the protected rock face from the viewing side

      The roughly 1,656-square-metre monument contains hundreds of tracks. Do not touch, trace, wet, climb or place equipment on the fossil surface.

    3. 03
      Yield to conservation and road safety

      Maintenance, shelter work, ice, rain, glare, traffic or a closed barrier can shorten the stop even without a calendar closure.

    TRAVELER FAQ

    Answers worth checking before you leave.

    3. Visit flow

    1. 01
      Before travel

      Route to the exact roadside shelter

      Use 179-18 Gongnyong-ro rather than a general Jeori pin. The current catalogue lists continuous free access but no visitor parking facility.

    2. 02
      At the barrier

      Read the protected rock face from the viewing side

      The roughly 1,656-square-metre monument contains hundreds of tracks. Do not touch, trace, wet, climb or place equipment on the fossil surface.

    3. 03
      Before staying in poor conditions

      Yield to conservation and road safety

      Maintenance, shelter work, ice, rain, glare, traffic or a closed barrier can shorten the stop even without a calendar closure.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Save the road address offline because a general village result can miss the small roadside shelter.
    • Use the interpretation and viewing angle instead of trying to improve visibility by touching or wetting stone.
    • Leave immediately if lawful stopping, road visibility or the protected barrier cannot be maintained.
    • Search “의성 제오리 공룡발자국 화석산지 경상북도 의성군 금성면 공룡로 179-18” 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.
