Overview

Gimhae Nakdong River Rail Park is a repurposed railway attraction that allows visitors to pedal rail bikes across a historic iron bridge spanning the Nakdong River. The park utilizes a section of the old Gyeongjeon Line, including the 1-kilometer-long Nakdong River Railway Bridge. A highlight of the site is the Wine Cave, a repurposed railway tunnel converted into a climate-controlled space featuring local wine exhibits and displays. The park grounds include a stationary steam locomotive and observation decks overlooking the water. Visitors can pedal their own four-person rail bikes along the tracks for approximately 3 kilometers round-trip. The site is situated within the rural landscape of Saengnim-myeon, Gimhae. It serves as an example of industrial heritage restoration in South Korea.

Insider tips

Reserve your rail bike ticket in advance online as time slots can sell out quickly, especially on weekends.

Bring a light jacket for the Wine Cave, as the interior temperature remains cool year-round regardless of the external weather.

Ensure your footwear is secure, as you will be responsible for pedaling the rail bike manually throughout the journey.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to walk along the active rail sections outside of the designated bike path; avoid wearing flip-flops or open-toed shoes that may interfere with pedaling.

Good to know

Closed on certain Mondays for maintenance.

Etiquette

Avoid standing up or exiting the rail bike while it is on the tracks; follow staff instructions regarding spacing between bikes.
