Yangpyeong Kudun Closed Station (양평 구 구둔역)

9.0Km    2025-02-02

1336-2 Ilsin-ri, Jipyeong-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do

This is a simple station that closed in 2012, and the waiting room, the station office, the railroad that stretched out toward one point, and the vehicles that stopped there remain intact. Just standing in front of the door where the name of the history is visible or under the trees that are much taller than the history creates an emotional scene. It is decorated as a cultural space in every corner, so you can look around in detail or just enjoy a walk along the railroad tracks. The Garden of Confession, the ground-breaking floor painting, and the train not running are photo points.
