Border Crossings Between North Korea and South Korea

Set along one of the most tightly controlled frontiers in the world, the divide between North Korea and South Korea is defined by restriction rather than movement. You will not find traditional crossings here: there is effectively **one formal crossing point**, located at the Joint Security Area inside the Korean Demilitarized Zone near Panmunjom. Even this is not open for regular travel, and crossings today are extremely rare.
