The second inter-Korean border trail along the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that demarcates the Republic of Korea (ROK) and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) will be opened to civilian hikers next month.

The central section of the DMZ in Cheorwon of Gangwon Province, about 90 kilometers northeast of Seoul, will be opened for the government-initiated "DMZ Peace Trail" program on June 1.

The Cheorwon trail will be run twice a day, except Tuesdays and Thursdays, every week. Up to 20 people can participate in each hike.

The first peace trail was launched in an eastern coastal section in Goseong, Gangwon Province, on April 27, drawing hundreds of hikers to its scenic seaside routes over six days each week, with the trail closed on Mondays.
