Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Gwangmyeong à Goyang-si

Hop on your bike for a satisfying 32 km ride from Gwangmyeong to Goyang-si—a journey that lets you escape the bustle but keeps you connected with urban scenery and stretches of nature. Kicking off in Gwangmyeong, known for the jaw-dropping Gwangmyeong Cave (one of Korea’s coolest repurposed mines), you'll weave primarily along cycleways and quiet roads. This means minimal traffic, so you can settle into the rhythm and actually enjoy the ride.

The route is mostly flat with a couple of gentle ups and downs that total out to about 210 meters of ascent—just enough to get your legs working without being a slog. Surfaces are largely paved or asphalt, though you’ll hit some sections with less definite surfacing, so sturdy tires are handy.

Roll into Goyang-si, a vibrant satellite city boasting green parks and Lake Park, one of the largest man-made lakes in Asia—perfect for a post-ride stroll. Plan for around 3–4 leisurely hours, depending on your pace and stops. This route gives you a mix of suburban discovery, fresh air, and a real slice of everyday life between two of the Seoul area’s most dynamic cities.
