Walking along these spell-binding paths is therapeutic. Galmaetgil is a must-see for both Busan residents and travelers in town. The roads are set against an exceptionally beautiful backdrop, so it's no surprise that a bid has been submitted to list it as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The
name Galmaetgil combines two Korean words: galmaet, or "seagull," the
symbol of Busan, and gil, or "path." The name refers to a seagull
that circulates in and around Busan, across mountains, rivers and oceans. In
this issue, we walk you through some of the best Galmaetgil courses.
