Overview

Haneuldari Bridge is a suspension bridge located within the Cheongnyangsan Provincial Park in Bonghwa-gun. Spanning across a rugged mountain gorge, the bridge connects two jagged rock peaks at an elevation of approximately 800 meters. The bridge is 90 meters long and 1.2 meters wide, designed to offer a narrow walkway over a deep, forested valley. It serves as a key feature of the mountain hiking trail system in the region. The structure is engineered to withstand high wind speeds common at this high altitude. It is a central point of interest for visitors hiking the trails of Cheongnyangsan Mountain.

Insider tips

Wear high-traction hiking boots, as the metal grating can be slippery during damp weather.

Bring a windbreaker, as the open-air gorge experiences significantly stronger gusts than the forest floor.

Avoid this location during heavy snowfall or high-wind warnings as the bridge access may be restricted.

What to avoid

Attempting the climb during the twilight hours, as navigation on the steep mountain paths becomes hazardous without natural light.

Good to know

May be closed during severe weather events or forest fire prevention periods, which typically occur in spring and autumn.

Etiquette

Do not jump or rock the bridge while others are crossing; stay on the marked metal path.
