The Bridge of Freedom is a historic bridge located near Imjingak Pyeonghwa Nuri Park, close to the DMZ.

The Civilian Control Zone (CCZ) is a buffer area just south of the DMZ. While it is not part of the actual DMZ, it is still tightly controlled by the South Korean military. It was established after the Korean War Designed to limit civilian access for security reasons Acts as an additional protective layer before reaching the DMZ Why is it restricted? Entry into the CCZ is controlled because: It is very close to North Korea There are still military facilities and surveillance systems The area contains landmines and sensitive infrastructure Visitors must: Join an authorized tour Pass through military checkpoints Show a passport or ID
