Hwadam Forest

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

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 is a space where you can see various plants, some of them bulbous.

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

Mt. Taehwa (664 m) at Chugok-ri is a low mountain with an acute peak. Nearby is Gonjiam Someori Gukbab Town and many fishing grounds that attract many visitors. On the southern skirt of the mountain is Baengnyeonam, which is said to have been built by Prist Iryeon in the 12th year of the reign of King Chungsuk of Goryeo. Beneath Daeungjeon is the legendary “Janggunsu,” which provides hikers with drinking water. You can reach the rock observation deck by following the small path through the luxurious forest. When you look down, you will see a valley and a long, open ridge leading to Baengmabong Peak beyond the valley. The top of Mt. Taehwa can be reached in about 3 hours through any trail.

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.
