Eco-Friendly Hiking Challenge with KNPS_Dobong(Sinseondae Peak)!

Dear CIKers,

This CIK event is in collaboration with Donbong Office of Bukhansan National Park.

During this event, CIKers will experience the beauty of Korean nature, explore traditional temples, and also help to clean our beautiful trails on Donbong mountain.

This is a wonderful opportunity to help keep Mother Nature beautiful while enjoying a hike and the camaraderie of fellow CIKers.

This hike is expected to take about 5 hours and is moderately difficult, while teaming up to clean our mountain trails and completing the fun team missions along the way.

[The Plogging (picking-up trash while hiking) Mission]
​To make our cleanup more exciting, complete this team mission along the way:
-The "Zen" Pose at Mangweolsa or Cheonchuksa Temple-

• ​Strike a Pose: Take a team photo mimicking a Buddha statue. Whether it’s the lotus position, a specific mudra (hand gesture), or your own creative "peaceful" pose—show us your inner calm!

♻️ Final Mission & Rewards
After completing the hike, all teams will gather at the Dobong Branch Office:
1. Proper Waste Sorting: Sort and dispose of the litter collected during the plogging session.
2. Rewards: Once your mission photos are verified and your trash is sorted, rewards will be distributed
