Gurye Seomjingang Cherry Blossom Trail (구례 섬진강 벚꽃길)

The Seomjingang Cherry Blossom Trail in Gurye follows National Roads 17 and 19 along the pristine Seomgjingang River. Stretching over 3 kilometers, the trail is lined with cherry blossom trees planted in 1992. As well as being a popular drive course, the trail can also be enjoyed on foot, and is even used as a marathon course. The trail has received recognition as one of the "100 Most Beautiful Roads in Korea." Restaurants along the trail serve local foods such as <em>euneo hoe</em> (sliced raw sweetfish) and <em>minmul maeuntang</em> (spicy freshwater fish stew).
