Overview

Uiryeong Gureum Dari is a 257-meter-long red suspension bridge spanning the Namcheon Stream in Uiryeong-gun. The bridge structure features a Y-shaped design, distinct from conventional straight suspension bridges. It serves as a pedestrian link connecting the Uiryeong Sports Park to the nearby Nam-san trail system. The bridge floor incorporates transparent sections that provide direct views of the stream flowing approximately 50 meters below. Visitors can traverse the entire length to reach the mountain hillside, which offers elevated views of the town and surrounding agricultural plains. The structure is illuminated at night to ensure visibility and decorative appeal.

Insider tips

Wear comfortable, flat-soled walking shoes as the bridge surface can be slippery after rain and connects to steep hiking trails.

Visit during the early morning to avoid the heat, as there is minimal shade on the bridge itself.

Bring a windbreaker, as the open height of the bridge can result in significantly stronger gusts than at ground level.

What to avoid

Attempting to cross if you suffer from severe acrophobia, as the mesh and glass floor sections are highly transparent.

Etiquette

Avoid jumping or running on the bridge deck, as the suspension cables are sensitive to rhythmic movement.
