"This rollercoaster-esque structure was constructed in 2021 by German artists Ulrich Genth and Heike Mutter. Standing at 333m in length and 25m in height it is meant to resemble a rollercoaster at a glance but is actually a flight of stairs. If you walk along the staircase you'll be able to feel as if you're walking in space hence giving its name.
The Space Walk is a must-visit place in Pohang to get a panoramic view of Hwanho Park, the surrounding city, and the forest. Since this structure is located at the peak of Hwanho Park you can also see it from the nearby beach is particularly stunning at night once it lights up.
IMPORTANT TIPS
The upside-down section of the staircase is blocked off and cannot be accessed.
Check the weather forecast before you plan a visit. If you're visiting on a windy day the walkable staircase will move and sway which is very noticeable at high points on the structure. Entry will also be closed in case of adverse weather conditions.
Visit on a weekday or in the early hours of a weekend to avoid crowds.
The maximum capacity on the staircases is 150 people."
