Dongseo Trail
Dongseo Trail (동서트레일)[1] is a planned coast-to-coast hiking route in South Korea. A first for the country, it will span approximately 527 miles (849 kilometers), connecting the country's eastern and western coasts.[2] Inspired by Spain's Camino de Santiago, it is expected to be completed in 2026 or 2027.[1] It connects various communities, offers scenic landscapes, and provides opportunities for rest and cultural immersion in towns along the way. Dongseo (hangeul: 동서 hanja: 東西) literally means "east-west" in Korean language.
