Recommended Trails in Jeonju, Sinabro-gil Course 6
“Walking Course 6 of the Sinabro-gil is recommended for those visiting Jeonju.”
Wanting to experience the arrival of spring, I plan to walk the Sinabro-gil, a recommended visit in Jeonju.
I thought the rain had stopped completely, but as soon as I stepped outside, it began to fall again. I wondered whether to go back home but ultimately decided to proceed to my planned destination, the Eco Museum parking lot.
I intend to walk Course 6 of the Sinabro-gil Trail.
This course takes you from the Traditional Culture Center Hanbyeokdang Pavilion Eco Museum Seungamsa Temple Catholic Holy Site Upstream of Jeonju Stream Mineral Spring -> National Intangible Heritage Center Omok Bridge Hanok Village.
I chose a slightly shorter route: Eco Museum Hanbyeokdang Pavilion Hyanggyo Namcheongyo Bridge National Intangible Heritage Center Hanbyeokgul Tunnel back to the Eco Museum.
Upon arriving at the Eco Museum parking lot, I found that the building was being remodeled.
Walking with an umbrella along Jeonju Stream towards Hanbyeokdang Pavilion, the air was filled with the scent of plum blossoms in full bloom.
Looking down at Jeonju Stream from Hanbyeokdang Pavilion, I could see Goedok Mountain in the distance and teal ducks floating on the stream.
The peacefulness of the rainy day made me wish I could stay indefinitely, but I had a long way to go, so I continued under Hanbyeok Bridge towards Hyanggyo.
My last visit to Hyanggyo was brief, during a friend’s traditional wedding ceremony a long time ago. This time, walking through it was very pleasant.
Inside Hyanggyo, there were ancient ginkgo trees over 400 years old, and with plum and yellow cornelian cherry blossoms also in bloom, it was a clear sign that spring had fully arrived.
After exploring Hyanggyo, I headed to the opposite side towards Jeonju Stream and Namcheongyo Bridge. I noticed a swing on the bicycle path and saw a small neighborhood supermarket, a bookstore, and a few cafes that seemed like great places for a break.
The Cheongyeonru at Namcheongyo Bridge, completed in 2009, had books available for those wanting to enjoy a read while resting.
Walking a bit from Namcheongyo Bridge towards the mineral spring led me to the National Intangible Heritage Center.
We stopped to look at the ‘A Journey to Intangible Heritage in Textbooks’ exhibition in the permanent exhibit hall on the second floor.
The exhibition was perfect for elementary school children, offering traditional clothing, furniture, pattern coloring activities, video experiences, traditional Korean music, and mask dances to see and experience.
Afterward, we headed down to the first floor and found Cafe Navillera, a cozy cafe filled with greenery and the scent of coffee. It seemed like the right time for a coffee break.
The drinks at Cafe Navillera were affordably priced, and knowing the profits support local culture and arts development made me feel like I was contributing too.

It seems like many people aren’t familiar with Jeonju’s Sinabro-gil Trail.
I was also not very familiar with it until I tried walking Course 6, starting from a parking spot that was easy to access. This route turned out to be quite enjoyable.
If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend taking a walk on Jeonju’s Sinabro-gil Trail.
