To arrive at the German Village, ride a city bus from the Namhae Intercity Bus Terminal. Walk up for about 10 minutes, and a signpost will show you've arrived at your destination.

Every bit of the buildings are traditionally German-stylized. The construction materials were actually brought from the country itself.

The village was designed by Germans and Koreans who had lived abroad. Those who crossed borders in the 1960s to work as a nurse, soldier or miner, returned home and took part in establishing this venue.

various local dramas and entertainment shows.>

The German Village has numerously been featured in dramas and local shows. Now, tourists are flooding in day and night to catch a glimpse of what the commotion is all about.
