GANGJIN, South Jeolla — The sea never really leaves you on the Korea Dulle Trail. One moment it emerges beyond dense pine trees, and the next it glimmers past wild tea fields, above temple rooftops and even along roadside paths, always finding its way into view.
The 4,500-kilometer (2,800-mile) trail network connects the coastal edges of the Korean Peninsula, stretching along the east, west and south coasts as well as the borderlands near the DMZ.
