Day 1Gangneung — sea & summons
10:30
1. Jumunjin Breakwater →KTO identifies the Yeongjin Beach breakwater at 1609 Haean-ro as the place where the Goblin gives flowers to his bride. Go only when the surface and waves look safe; use the harbor as the day’s real continuation.
Access: Open 24 hours, all year (2026-09-11)
Official listing: open 24 hours and free.
12:30

Choose a restaurant near the preceding stop after checking today’s opening hours, menu and price. This is a flexible meal break, not a reserved table or filming-location claim.
15:00
Optional coastal break
Anmok is an optional separate transfer, not a verified walk from Jumunjin. Check the live route and return transport before adding it; this unpinned stop is not included in the map.
Numbered pins show the listed places in visit order, not verified entrances or a walkable route. Unnumbered meals and optional stops are not plotted. Check each transfer separately. Transfer links below also include named restaurant branches in itinerary order. Unspecified meal breaks have no fixed destination; choose one before checking that transfer.
Day 2Pyeongchang — firs & slopes
10:00
1. Woljeongsa Fir Forest →KTO confirms that the snowy forest scene where the couple affirm their love was filmed on this trail. Walk the full avenue and visit the temple; treat snow as weather, not an operating promise.
Trail access: Open 24 hours, all year (2026-09-11)
Official listing: trail open 24 hours, all year.
13:00
Meal break near your route
Choose a restaurant near the preceding stop after checking today’s opening hours, menu and price. This is a flexible meal break, not a reserved table or filming-location claim.
14:30
2. Yongpyong Resort →The resort operator explicitly documents Winter Sonata locations. The old drama connection does not guarantee today’s snow, gondola operation or access to every photo point.
Choose it as a planned Gangwon day or overnight stay with a named activity; do not treat it as an effortless extra from central Seoul.

Route tips
- Coast and mountain stops require regional transfers beyond the KTX. Arrange pickup and return before leaving the station. With high waves, ice or gondola suspension, omit the affected stop; do not enter a closed breakwater.
