After driving about 4 kilometers down Bukchungju IC of Jungbu Naeryuk Expressway, you can find Munseong natural recreation forest. Since it is located in the foot of Jajubong mountain, you can take a mood of forest. Not only forest, you can enjoy various activities from monorail, outdoor pool, woodwork to Zip line. As you may see a lot of forest views in my writings, I will introduce exciting experience with Zip line today.

Due to the hot weather, I really want to jump into water. But it would be better to fly the sky. Because I have never experienced Zip line actually, my heart flutters.

After parking your car at parking lot, you can find customer service center for Zip line use. You should go inside, and register for it. Let's fly in the sky!

It costs 30,000won for an individual. I heard that it takes about an hour. But it takes more time since there are four courses to ride. You can enjoy various activities like suspension bridge. Please be aware that, however, those who under 30 kilograms or over 110 kilograms cannot board the Zip. Children under 30 kilograms can board with adults, so you don't need to worry about it.

First, you should sign the letter of intent on board. It is the procedure to check illness or weight, so you should fill out it correctly. And after that, you will receive a boarding certificate. So you should write your name on it properly. It can be used as a coupon for next board, too.

Now, here we go! Safety hat is free sized, so fits to everyone. But I had to increase the size because of my big head. Haha.

If you are concerned that you may be dropped, you don't need to worry about that. Karaniner is
fasten doubly up and down on a wire, so it is less likely to be cut.

Wow! A person is sliding down in the last 505 meters course. She is screaming. Maybe I would make a noise like that.

I climbed to the top of the mountain for about five minutes by full-size van. Here is today's starting point of the first course. It consists of total four courses, and it's length is 948 meters. So, it is not a short course to end quickly. It takes about from an hour to an hour and twenty minutes to ride every four courses, although it may differ from the number of people.
The whole course looks like this. The picture you have seen just before is the starting point. The first course is 160 lengths and for beginners. The second course is suspension bridge so that you can build up your courage while walking on it. The length of course suddenly increases from the third course. The lengthy of the third course reaches 208 meters and 505 meters for the fourth course.

You should listen the explanation about equipments for a moment, and make a start. Since you will be equipped by staff members, you only need to understand the safety.

After learning the posture in the real boarding place and the way to board safely, you can make a start. All of the male staff members are so handsome. They use Daegu dialect, and female tourists seem to like them. Haha.

The first person is sliding down. There were a lot of children and women, but none of them said they are scared.

This picture is me. How could I take a picture while riding Zip line? This is nothing. Some people were sliding down while making a video call, and a woman was taking a picture of herself. Haha. However, you must keep your personal belongings from being dropped as it is in the deep forest.

Wow, it is so thrilling. It is the first time for me to ride Zip line, but it is really interesting. It is a cliff under your feet, but you only depend on a pair of wires.

This is the suspension bridge which is the second course. Among four courses, three courses have Zip line, and one is suspension bridge. It is very lapping, so some women turn into ice on the middle of the bridge. Haha. But you don't need to be scared since you are sustained by safety
straps.

As my legs are shaking right and left and top and bottom, my steps seem to be unnatural. I should land, but the ground gives away under my feet. It is a deep cliff, so my legs fall nerveless.

After recovering my consciousness, I have walked on the bridge. Caution! It is really racy bridge!

I will pass 208 meters course for this time, which is the third one. It is definitely longer and more thrilling than the first course. As a cliff is deeper, I feel like flying the sky. But there is not a picture for the third course. I only have video, so if you want to see, click the image below.

Now you will transfer to the fourth course. The fourth course is 505 meters long. Since it is so steep, you will descend rapidly. The course is set up between the forest, so you would think you may bump into the trees. But you don't need to concern about it, as it is well structured. After passing the forest, the course is open to the view. It is really well organized.

It divides sky so nicely. I want to show you in this picture, but you may not feel the atmosphere well. The fast-running Zip line blows away my stress when riding it. It is worth paying 30,000 won.
