Pedal to fairyland,
Gapyeong Rail Bike
Take a ride on a rail bike built along the old Gyeongchun Line railroad and start a tour toward a fairytale-like landscape. The zelkova tree tunnel that changes its color with the seasons is a representative sight along the Gapyeong Rail Bike’s route. As you follow the calm and peaceful course overlooking the Bukhangang River, you can also cross the 30m high Bukhangang Bridge, making it a course with a variety of fun.
Ganggyeong Station, the turning point, was also the setting for the movie
Namiseom Island, a nature friendly to all
If you are looking for a break from your busy daily life and some peace in nature, Namiseom Island will appeal to you.
As the theme is 'Fairytale Land, Song Island', you can feel the healing that Nami Island gives from the moment you step into the cute and refreshing scenery and the gentle river breeze. It is a place friendly to nature and animals, so you can meet small animal friends that children will love, such as squirrels and rabbits. The green lawn, well-maintained walking path, and cool metasequoia forest path are perfect for riding a bike, picnicking, or walking. There are also food and beverage facilities and a performance hall where you can take a break whenever you feel a little tired, so you don't have to worry about outdoor activities.
Not only is the calm natural scenery beautiful, but Namiseom is also famous as a place where you can enjoy water leisure activities to your heart's content, as it is an island floating on the Bukhangang River. Activities that will help you blow off some steam, such as zip wires and motorboats, are must-try activities on Namiseom.

The moment you visit Petite France and Italian Village, you will feel familiar with the European scenery in Gapyeong! Petite France and Italian Village have been loved as filming locations for many famous dramas such as
Petite France was created with the concept of 'flowers, stars, and the little prince'. It is also fun to look at the characteristics of French-style buildings in the village lined with cute buildings. There is the Saint-Exupéry Memorial Hall where you can get a glimpse into the life of Saint-Exupéry and his masterpiece, 'The Little Prince', the Music Box House where sweet melodies that match the scenery resonate, and the Antique Exhibition Hall where you can see antiques collected from all over Europe in one place, so you will really feel like you are traveling to France.
The Italian Village is themed around the representative Italian fairy tale, Pinocchio, and Leonardo da Vinci’s works.
