Day 11: Nakdong River path, Andong to Mungyeong

​​​​​​Checked out of Andong Guesthouse, a very good hostel/hotel with very reasonable prices. Popular with both Korean and foreign guests. It is conveniently located a 10 minute bike ride from the bus station. Laundry facilities and free breakfast included.


Common area / coffee shop

The Nakdong River path follows the river by the same name. Eventually it meets the Han River and the Four Rivers bike path.
​​​​






The Nakdong River path passes near UNESCO World Heritage Site Hahoe Village, a well preserved, living village. This is how 19th century late Joseon rural Korea looked like. It's a very pretty place.

If you are ever in that area, and you crave a Burger King meal, well, here's an one. A Whopper with fries and a Coke sure hits the spot.




​​​​​

The Nakdong River path is mostly along very quiet farmland fed by the river.



​Coming from the east along the Nakdong River path, one can get to Mungyeong more quickly than jumping on the Four Rivers path by taking Rt. 923 and Rt. 924 instead. It makes for a good short-cut. The Four Rivers bike path on the left/west on the map. The Nakdong River path meets it at the bridge with the dotted line at center bottom.




En route on Route 924

82km
