O tomto kameni
This is one of the few remaining unification villages located within the Civilian Control Zone near the Korean Demilitarized Zone. Surrounded by barbed wire and guarded checkpoints, it's a peaceful farming community that exists in one of the most heavily protected borders in the world. Despite the tension that once defined this area, the village stands as a quiet symbol of hope, home to residents who live under strict rules but carry an enduring belief in a future where the two Koreas might reunite. An interesting fact: farmers here receive tax exemptions and are required to spend a minimum number of nights per year in the village as part of their special residency privileges. Among its rice fields and watchtowers, a penguin stone now rests—a small symbol of peace and togetherness in this divided land.
