    The Third Tunnel

    Discovered in 1978, the Third Infiltration Tunnel is a vivid reminder of Cold War tensions. Secretly dug by North Korea, the tunnel stretches more than 1.6 kilometers toward Seoul and could have allowed thousands of soldiers to pass through within an hour. Visitors can walk a portion of the tunnel wearing safety helmets and learn about its discovery at the DMZ Exhibition Hall, which highlights ongoing efforts toward peace and security.
