Mt. Odu Unification Observatory is on top of Mt. Odu, 118m above the sea level, where the lifeline of Seoul, Han River, flows down from the north to meet Imjin River. It is the northernmost where Imjin River is in between South and North. This short 2km distance keeps no crossing between South and North for over a half of a century. It is a sad proof of the separation. Mt. Odu Unification Observatory is for understanding sad reality of the separation, which is the only legacy in the world from the Cold War; thinking of future of the country that guarantees freedom, human rights and happiness to the nation; wishing for unification which is displayed in the exhibited materials.
