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.
