Space Walk (Hwanho Park)
스페이스워크
A walkable steel sculpture on the hillside of Hwanho Park that winds like a roller-coaster track, offering views over Yeongil Bay and the night lights of the Pohang steelworks. It is a viral hit on Xiaohongshu.
Space Walk opened in 2021. It was designed by German artists Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth. The sculpture is about 333 meters long with 717 steps. You can walk its undulating track up to high points, with open-grid decking underfoot and wide views. From the top you can look out over Yeongildae Beach to the POSCO steelworks on the opposite shore. Admission is free. It closes during strong winds, heavy rain and icy winter conditions, and people who are afraid of heights should take care. Hwanho Park also houses the Pohang Municipal Art Museum. It is about a 20-minute walk from Yeongildae Beach, or 5 minutes by taxi.
