DMZ 3rd Tunnel, Rock-carved Standing Buddhas, Hanging Bridge
The demilitarized zone is a 4-kilometer zone, 2 km from the military demarcation line (practically, the borders of North and South Korea).
This zone is a legacy of the Korean War, which is not formally over yet (a truce has been signed between the parties).
The demilitarized zone is one of the most popular tourist destinations - several so-called. observatories from where you can observe the territory of North Korea; in addition, you can visit the infiltration tunnels (four of them have been discovered, although there may be tunnels that have not yet been discovered).

Dorasan Observatory, from where you can see the North Korea's city of Gaeseong
The third in a row (count was kept in order of discovery) of the tunnels that the North Koreans insidiously dug under the demarcation line (i.e., practically, the border between South and North Korea).
There are 2 huge Buddha statues carved in a large rock; they were not transported anywhere - they seemed to have grown out of the rock from which they were carved by local craftsmen. The fact that the craftsmen are local makes these statues charming in their own way, although somewhat disproportionate. A local legend is connected with the appearance of the statues, but how could it be without it?
On the majestic Mount Kamaksan in the city of Paju, the famous suspension bridge stretches with its grandiose structures. This is a true miracle of engineering and architecture, which delights with its fragile, but surprisingly strong strength.
Overcoming the top of the mountain, you will have to go through narrow paths and winding paths, making your way through dense vegetation and encountering unique wildlife along the way. And now, a majestic arch of the bridge appears before you, as if stretching from the clouds to the very bowels of the earth.
As you walk along the floating walkway, you will feel the breeze and hear the whisper of the leaves, creating the illusion of floating in the air. The bridge, boldly thrown between the two peaks, delights with its grandeur and unusualness. Its steel ropes, which support the thin strip of footpath, seem almost weightless, as if they were created by magic to connect heaven and earth.
Walking across this impressive bridge offers breathtaking views of the majestic mountain scenery that stretches to the horizon. High peaks, covered with lush greenery, rush into the sky, as if striving to reach uncharted heights.
This is a place where you can feel true harmony with nature and bravely conquer the peaks. The Kamaksan Hanging Bridge Adventure in Paju is a journey that requires courage and brings unforgettable emotions. It allows you to plunge into the world of magic, where the boundaries between heaven and earth merge into a single space, shrouded in mysteries and the beauty of nature.
