Woljeong-ri Station (Iron Triangle Battlefield) is the last stop before reaching the DMZ. With the sign “The iron horse wants to run again,” there stand remains of a train that was used to make frequent trips to North Korea. Located at the spot where the fiercest battle was held during the Korean War, this train marks the partition line of the Korean peninsula. These days Woljeong-ri Station is under the control of the Cheorwon-gun Office and hundreds of thousands of people visit this unique tourist area every year.
