panmunjom in the dmz is the only place where it is possible for south and north korea to hold talks.onclayit 's often said that the korean demilitarized zone, or dmz, is the most dangerous place on earth. this distinction is probably technically true - the mountains and hillsides on both sides of the 4km strip of land separating the two koreas bristles with troops, guard posts, tanks, missile, bunkers, gun emplacements, land mines and other tools of death and destruction. a one-hole golf course at a military base in panmunjeom, the truce village that has come to symbolize the world's last cold war frontier, warns not to retrieve balls from a fairway lined by land mines - once designated as the ?world's most dangerous golf course.?

yet the dmz is perhaps the supreme irony in a land of ironies. as you gaze out upon the dmz from checkpoint 3 of panmunjeom's joint security area, your attention is drawn not to the rare opportunity to peek into mysterious north korea, the north korean soldiers perched on the watchtower nearby, or your chances of survival in a sudden (and highly unlikely) re-opening of hostilities. instead, you?re captivated by the supreme tranquility - the quiet, the lush green hillsides, the rare birds swooping into untouched marshlands. here, at the most militarized border on the planet, you feel completely at peace.

the dmz stretches some 248 kilometers across the korean peninsula from the mouth of the imjin river in the west to the town of goseong in the east. the demilitarized zone itself, where human activity has been greatly limited for the last half-century, has become one of asia's greatest nature preserves. in the sparsely populated hinterlands just outside the zone, where it seems soldiers outnumber civilians, you can find both towering monuments to battles won and derelict ruins that stand witness to the tragedy of war.

no one can properly take in the entire dmz area over the course of a single weekend, but if you?re in seoul, the peace village of panmunjeom, the touching imjingak park and the beautiful mountains and rivers of cheorwon offer the traveler a real glimpse of the history and culture of this most uniquely korean tourist destination.
