Plan your visit

Stay by the shore or make a longer walk around Hyangho?

Choose Jumunjin’s sandy shore, continue to adjoining Hyangho Beach, or set aside time for the full Baugil 13 circuit inland. Plan your return to Gangneung before setting off.

Baugil 13 around Hyangho

Start at Jumunjin Beach car park, Hyangho-ri 8-37 주문진해변주차장 · 주문진읍 향호리 8-37

From the beach car park, Baugil 13 follows Hyangho’s boardwalk and the reservoir-side route before returning to the same car park. The trail organisation gives 15 km and 5–6 hours for the complete circular course. Plan for the full walk, carry food and water, and check the current route before setting off.

The published distance and time describe the full Baugil 13 circuit, separate from a short beach stroll.
