Gapyeong Rail Park is one of the most fun day-trip activities near Seoul. The Gapyeong Rail Bike Course runs along an abandoned railway line, covering an 8 km round-trip from Gapyeong Rail Park to Gyeonggang Station and back. Along the way, you’ll pedal past Gapyeongcheon Stream Iron Bridge, Bukhanggang Iron Bridge, and the leafy Zelkova Tree Tunnel — some of the prettiest scenery in the region.

Getting There from Seoul

By Subway (Cheapest Option):

  • From Myeongdong Station → Take Line 4 to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park.

  • Transfer to Line 1 → Ride to Hoegi Station.

  • Transfer again to the Gyeongchun Line (light green) → Ride all the way to Gapyeong Station (가평역).

  • ⏱ About 80–90 minutes | ₩2,400.


By ITX Train (Fastest Option):

  • From Cheongnyangni Station (청량리역) or Yongsan Station (용산역) in Seoul, take the ITX train on the Gyeongchun Line.

  • Ride to Gapyeong Station (≈40 mins from Cheongnyangni, 55 mins from Yongsan).

  • 🎟 ITX fare: ₩5,700–6,900. Tickets can be booked online via Korail.

From Gapyeong Station to the Rail Park

  • Once you arrive at Gapyeong Station, you’re only about 400m away from the Rail Park.

  • Simply exit the station and walk for 5 minutes — the Rail Park entrance is clearly marked and easy to find.

  • If you prefer, taxis are available outside the station, but walking is the most convenient option.

Things to Know Before You Go

  • Booking: Reserve your rail bike slot in advance via gprailpark.com, especially on weekends and holidays.

  • Course Length: 8 km round-trip (approx. 50 mins – 1 hour).

  • Bikes: Choose between 2-seater and 4-seater bikes.

Best Season: The Zelkova Tree Tunnel is gorgeous in spring and fall, but the bridges offer stunning views year-round.

If you’re also visiting Nami Island or The Garden of Morning Calm, the Rail Park pairs perfectly since all are along the same Gapyeong tourist circuit.
