What's the closest one can get to North Korea from the South on public road?

You can also catch a glimpse of North Korea on the Jayu-ro highway, for instance around 37.802870, 126.683044. Nothing very interesting though, just some hills across the sea. The tour I took to DMZ (you can’t get there without a tour) took us via that road, because it’s one of the easiest places to see North Korea close to Seoul. According to our tour guide, you notice that all trees are chopped down, hence it must be North Korea.

The closest you can get on your own would be going to right before the DMZ. The North and the South each control 2km of the DMZ. Other than some special tour packages such as these, access to the DMZ is very controlled. You can see the North from several of the sites that are on the tourist packages.
