평일주중에 갔다왔는데 한가하고좋았음
후손들에게 전쟁이란 이런것이다라는 교훈을 심어줄수 있는곳인듯 합니다
전쟁의 참혹함에 대해 생각하게됨.
가슴 아픈 곳입니다. 전쟁은 더이상 없기를
역사와전쟁의기록아남아있는살아있는유적지!!!
안보관광지. 날씨가 좋으면 눈으로 남방한계선이 보임.
White Horse Hill is a small Korean War memorial site 2.5km from the border of North Korea. The site consists of a small shop and a cobbled pathway leading to a monument on the top of the hill. The monument resembles the one in front of the War Memorial in Seoul: 2 halves of the same sculpture representing the 2 Koreas.
There are 2 small artifact rooms along the path and a marble monument listing the names of fallen soldiers.
Entry is free.
"Baengma-goji was a 395-metre (1,296 ft) hill in the Iron Triangle, formed Pyonggang at its peak and Gimhwa-eup and Cheorwon at its base, was a strategic transportation route in the central region of the Korean peninsula. During ten days of battle, the hill would change hands 24 times after repeated attacks and counterattacks for its possession. It was one of the most intense position-grasping battle for a small hill during the course of the Korean War. Afterwards, Baengma-goji looked like a threadbare white horse, thence its name of Baengma, meaning a white horse." (Wikipedia)
