Gonjiam Bandi Forest

This is an experiential complex cultural space where anyone can see, experience, and enjoy, with sculpture parks, ceramic shopping malls, complex cultural halls, performance halls, Paleolithic experience yards, and Jungang Lake Plaza.

It flows through Gonjiam-eup, Docheok-myeon, and Sangdo-eup and joins Gyeongancheon Stream.

It is an arboretum where you can see various trees and natural scenery.

Mt. Mugap in Chowol-eup stretches out to Gonjiam-eup and Toechon-myeon. It was named such because it is said that the soldiers who refused to surrender hid here during the Japanese invasion of 1592, or because the mountain looks like it’s wearing an armor. When you stand on top, you can enjoy an unobstructed view of Paldang Lake and other surrounding areas. Mt. Mugap, which is 578 m high, is not widely known among hikers, making it a great site for families to hike together as it’s quiet and secluded. It’s covered with Korean rosebay and mountain greens in spring, luxurious trees in summer, and colorful autumn leaves in fall. Its snow blossoms in winter can compare with those of Mt. Halla.

There are various leisure activities throughout the year, such as skiing and snowboarding in winter and golfing and hiking in summer.

Cheonjiam Rock is the sacred place where the Catholic philosophy was developed into a religion.

Cheonjinam Grant Cathedral is under construction for a 100-year project, and constantly attracts many Catholic believers.
