- The 2nd Tunnel - Discover a piece of Korean history by visiting the Second Infiltration Tunnel in Cheorwon DMZ, a significant emblem of past conflicts between North and South Korea. Constructed by North Korea and uncovered by South Korea in 1975, this tunnel was intended as a covert invasion route for a potential attack on Seoul. It extends over 3.5 kilometers, serving as a poignant reminder of the Korean War and the peninsula’s division. As visitors descend into this damp, dimly lit tunnel, they will be immersed in a deeply historical setting. A knowledgeable guide will share memorable stories about the harsh conditions endured by the North Korean workers who manually excavated this tunnel, providing insight into their daily lives and unwavering determination.
