Description DMZ and the Third Tunnel: This is a very special tourist destination in Korea, which offers a real vivid eye-opening experience of the Korean War and a dramatic feeling of the tragedy of the separated family members between two Koreans from the division of the Peninsula. The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) winds 151 miles across the Korean Peninsula from the Han River estuary in the west to a point just below the 39th parallel on the east coast. Down the center of the 4,000 meter wide strip, largely undeveloped in the years since the truce was signed, runs the Military Demarcation Line, bisecting the Joint Security Area in Panjunjeom, where meetings and conferences are held between the north and south.
The Third Tunnel: This tunnel was discovered in October 1978.
It runs through bedrock at a depth of about 73meters below ground. Capable of moving a full division per hour, plus their weapons, it was evidently designed for a surprise attack on Seoul. Board a open air monorail "Be sure to wear the provided hard hat" for an exciting journey down to the tunnel.
