The Third Tunnel One of the highlights of our itinerary is the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel. Discovered in 1978, this tunnel is located 12 kilometers from Munsan and 52 kilometers from Seoul. It was intended to be used for a surprise invasion of the South. Measuring 1,635 meters in length, 2 meters in height, and 2 meters in width, the tunnel could have transported an entire division per hour! Interestingly, when the tunnel was found, North Korea claimed it was built by the South for a surprise attack, but the evidence clearly indicates otherwise. Walking through it will make you feel as if you've stepped back in time!
