Why spring shines
After a hard winter, spring makes the DMZ far more comfortable. Days warm up, the hills turn green and the whole experience becomes about looking and walking rather than fighting the cold. It is a favorite season for good reason.
Good walking weather
The Gamaksan suspension bridge and Dora Observatory are outdoor experiences, and spring is kind to both. Mild air makes the walks enjoyable, though early spring can still be cool and breezy at the border, so a light layer stays useful.
