Lovely little section of gentle descent that includes the National Arboretum of Korea and a Royal Tomb. The forests in this area where started during the reign of the below mentioned king Sejo (1417-1468), the area was devastated during the Korean war.

From Wikipedia: Gwangneung is a pair of tombs in Namyangju City, Gyeonggi Province. The tombs, arranged in a V shape, contain the remains of King Sejo and his wife Queen Jeonghui. The two tombs were built in 1468 and 1483 respectively. Gwangneung is important because changes taking place in the construction of royal tombs are evident in its construction. Screening rocks were not installed at this tomb. Instead of an outer coffin stone, quicklime was used. Another break from tradition was that the reverential access was not built. Finally, only one T-shaped ritual shrine was built for both burial mounds. This change in tomb architecture came from the last wishes of the king and reflects a new frugal style that influenced later royal tomb construction. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Tombs_of_the_Joseon_Dynasty#Gwangneung_(%EA%B4%91%EB%A6%89)
