There isn't anything in English yet, and that's what this project is all about -- get the information out in English, publicize it to the world, in the global language. If the Koreans had already done all this work, i wouldn't have to... ;-) They are, doin’ it the slow foreign way… :-)

They must be having fun. ;) There are many books about the walk, I found this one to be the best.

It is the prettiest place I have seen in Korea. As the photos show, it is a great place to visit in the fall. It is also great in early September when the worst of the summer heat is over but the streams are still full from the rainy season. I second the opinion on the Mureung-gyegok.
