#summervacay Okay, so I tackled Wol-ak Mountain's Yeongbong Peak (yeah, the one that's 1,097 meters up in the sky), and wow, what a ride. The trail starts out chill, almost lulls you into thinking, “Hey, I’ve got this.” Spoiler: you don’t. It gets steep fast and stays that way. But every drop of sweat is totally worth it. The views? Unreal. Rolling green ridges, cliffside drops, and that wind that hits just right when you're drenched in effort. There were a couple of sketchy rock sections, so bring grippy shoes and maybe a snack to stress-eat halfway up. At the top, Yeongbong Peak delivers a panorama that makes you forget how much your legs hurt. I just stood there, breathing it all in like some nature-loving warrior who conquered a mountain. If you’re near Jecheon and want a hike that makes you work but rewards you big, this is it. 10/10, would suffer again.

#summervacay Yeonhwabong might not be the tallest peak out there, but don’t let the size fool you, it packs a punch in the best way. The hike up is short and sweet, just enough to get your legs moving and your heart rate up without feeling like you’re dying halfway through. Perfect for a quick nature fix. The trail winds through quiet forest paths, and there’s this calm, almost hidden vibe to the whole thing. Not super crowded either, which is always a win. As you climb, you start catching glimpses of the views, and once you hit the top! Open skies, mountain ridges, and a seriously peaceful vibe. We hung out at the summit for a while, just enjoying the breeze and taking it all in. It’s the kind of place where you can sit in silence and actually enjoy it. If you’re looking for a quick, lowkey adventure with a rewarding view, Yeonhwabong totally delivers. Easy, breezy, beautiful hike day.

#summervacay Spent the day hiking around Boeun in Sokri Mountain National Park and wow, it’s a total chill-out spot. The trails are peaceful, the air is clean-clean, and the forest feels like it’s giving you a big leafy hug. Didn’t have a super strict plan, just followed the signs, wandered a bit, and let the mountain do its thing. You get a bit of everything: quiet trails, rocky climbs, little streams, and these insane views once you gain some elevation. The forest is super dense in parts, which makes it feel like you’re miles away from real life. And the sounds? Just birds, wind, and the occasional squirrel rustle. Found some quiet spots to snack and vibe. Not too many people, which made it even better. Definitely felt like a hidden gem, not touristy at all. If you're looking to unplug and move your legs without killing your knees, Boeun and Sokri got you. Would go back in a heartbeat.

#summervacay Songnisan is straight-up gorgeous. Did the Beopjusa loop and honestly, it’s the perfect mix of nature, culture, and a bit of leg burn. You start off walking through this peaceful forest, and suddenly you’re standing in front of a giant golden Buddha at Beopjusa Temple. It’s massive. Like, “how is this real?” massive. The trail winds up through shady trees and rocky paths, nothing too crazy but enough to feel like an adventure. You get these awesome views as you climb, especially near Munjangdae Peak, it’s a bit of a detour but 100% worth it if you’ve got the energy. Tons of little moments that make it special, bell sounds from the temple drifting through the trees, the fresh mountain air, and the general vibe of calm. Not a ton of people, which makes it feel even more peaceful. Bring snacks, take your time, and enjoy the ride. Songnisan’s a total reset button.

#summervacay Hiked up Sobaeksan through the Eouigol Valley trail and honestly, it was one of the most peaceful hikes I’ve done in Korea. The whole vibe is just calm, less people, more nature, and this super chill forest energy all the way up. The trail winds through tall trees, streams, and some mossy rock areas that look straight out of a Studio Ghibli scene. It’s a long-ish hike, but the incline is pretty manageable. It’s more about endurance than steep climbs. The higher you go, the cooler it gets, literally and visually. By the time you get near the summit, you're above the clouds (on a good day), and it feels unreal. Like you’re standing on the roof of the world. Eouigol Valley is definitely the scenic route, and perfect if you’re into quiet trails and soaking in nature without racing to the top. Pack some snacks, pace yourself, and let the mountain do its thing. Sobaeksan’s a total vibe.

#summervacay Went hiking at Hwangaksan and it was honestly the perfect mix of peaceful and scenic. Not super touristy, which I loved, just good vibes, fresh air, and some solid nature time. The trail wasn’t too intense, more of a steady climb with a few steep bits here and there to keep things interesting. Definitely beginner-friendly, but you’ll still feel like you accomplished something by the end. The forest was super green and calming, and there were a bunch of spots along the way to just stop, breathe, and take in the view. At the top, the panorama is chef’s kiss, rolling hills, endless trees, and that sweet feeling of being above it all. There’s also this little pavilion where you can chill and snack before heading back down. If you’re looking for a low-key mountain adventure that doesn’t leave you totally wiped out but still makes you feel like you did something cool, Hwangaksan is the move.

#summervacay So, Wolaksan’s Jebibong Peak in Danyang? A whole experience. Like, you start out thinking, “Cool, a nice little hike,” and then, you're climbing stairs like you're in some nature bootcamp... but the kind that rewards you with absolutely wild views. Yes, there are a lot of steps. Like, your calves might file a complaint. But honestly? Worth every single one. You’re surrounded by these crazy rock formations, forest vibes, and then suddenly, that view. Danyang’s blue rivers snaking through the valley, mountains layered like a Bob Ross painting, and the wind giving you that dramatic windswept look. Peak Instagram moment, no filter needed. The summit isn’t super high, but it feels epic. It’s one of those hikes that makes you feel tiny in the coolest way. Plus, the trail’s well maintained and super doable if you pace yourself (and maybe bring snacks... lots of snacks). Wolaksan Jebibong: come for the stairs, stay for the soul boost. No regrets, just sore legs.

#summervacay If you’re looking for a nice, easy-going hike that won’t leave you wiped out, Geumsu Mountain in Danyang is where it’s at. The trails are pretty laid-back, nothing crazy steep, so it’s perfect for a chill day outside without the hardcore leg burn. We took our time, stopped for some snacks, and just enjoyed the fresh air. What’s cool about Geumsu Mountain is the mix of peaceful forest paths and open spots where you get those classic mountain views. The vibe is super calm, and it wasn’t crowded at all, which made it feel like we had nature all to ourselves. There are some cute little temples and resting areas along the way, so plenty of spots to pause and soak it all in. If you’re near Danyang and want a quick nature fix that’s easy and pretty, this mountain’s a solid pick. Pro tip: wear comfy shoes and bring some water, you’ll want to stay a while!

#summervacay Alright, so I hit up Daemisan Akeobong on a whim, and honestly? Low-key amazing. It’s not some huge, intense mountain, but it gives you just enough adventure without feeling like you need to train for it. Perfect for a chill day out when you wanna stretch your legs and clear your head. The trail is super manageable, with a good mix of forest paths and rocky bits to keep it interesting. Nothing sketchy or super steep, but enough to make you feel like, “Yeah, I did something today.” The views at the top? Totally underrated. You get those wide-open valley shots and mountain layers that make everything feel extra peaceful. Not a lot of people either, which made it even better. Just birds, breeze, and that sweet, sweet silence. There’s something really grounding about this place—nothing flashy, just nature doing its thing. If you're into quiet hikes with good payoff and no stress, Akeobong's the move. Totally bringing a thermos of coffee next time.

#summervacay Wolaksan National Park might not be on everyone's radar, but it's seriously underrated. We hit up the trails near Hwaseong, and it was the perfect mix of mellow hiking and “whoa” moments. The forest is super calming, tons of shade, birdsong, and those cool rocky outcrops that pop out of nowhere. The paths are well-marked and not too intense, which made it ideal for a casual day out. There were a few uphill stretches, but nothing crazy, just enough to feel like you earned your lunch. Along the way, you get these awesome panoramic views that kind of sneak up on you. What’s really cool is how peaceful it is. Not too many people, especially on weekdays, so it’s great if you want to unplug and not feel rushed. Just toss on some comfy shoes, pack a snack, and go with the flow. Wolaksan’s a chill, scenic spot that gives you big nature vibes without the big effort.

#summervacay Songnisan’s Munjangdae Peak is no joke, but in the best way possible. We hit the trail with good vibes and snacks, thinking it’d be a chill hike… yeah, no. It’s a climb. Like, stair after stair after stair. But the forest is gorgeous, super peaceful, and there are a bunch of spots to catch your breath and pretend you're admiring the view (instead of dying inside). The final push to the peak is kind of intense, it’s steep and a bit rocky, but totally worth it. The view at the top? Insane. You get this wild panoramic shot of endless mountains, and if the weather’s clear, it’s honestly breathtaking. We just sat up there for a while, catching our breath and soaking it all in. If you're into a bit of a challenge and want major payoff at the top, Munjangdae delivers. Bring water, good shoes, and maybe some candy to power through those stairs. Your legs will hurt, but your soul will thank you.

#summervacay Sobaeksan’s Birobong Peak? Dang, what a ride. This hike does not mess around, your legs will definitely feel it, but honestly, it’s worth every sweaty step. The trail is super pretty, all green tunnels and shady spots that trick you into thinking it’s easy… until it isn’t. 😅 But here’s the thing: the journey up is kind of magical. Birds chirping, random wildflowers doing their thing, and these little wooden signs cheering you on like, “You got this!” (I mean, not literally, but still.) When you finally hit the top, whoa. Clouds drifting around, mountains rolling into the distance like a green sea, and that breeze? Absolute perfection. I legit forgot how tired I was for a sec. Bring snacks, good shoes, and maybe a friend to laugh with when you question all your life choices halfway up. Birobong’s not the chillest peak, but it’s got major payoff vibes. Would I do it again? 100%. With more snacks, though.

#summervacay So I finally made it to Sobaeksan, and wow, totally worth the trip. The hike wasn’t too intense (thankfully), and the views? Absolute chef’s kiss. Clouds were doing their dramatic floaty thing, and I felt like I was walking through a fantasy movie set. The trail had a good mix of peaceful forest vibes and open ridges with those big “I need to take a photo every two seconds” panoramas. Bonus: I didn’t get eaten alive by bugs. Major win. Ran into a few fellow hikers who were super friendly, shared some snacks, had a quick chat, then parted ways like trail ninjas. Loved that. Also, pro tip: bring snacks and water. Like, a lot. You’ll thank yourself when you hit those steeper bits. All in all, 10/10 would hike again. Sobaeksan might not be the most famous peak in Korea, but it’s got serious chill-and-feel-awesome energy. Would recommend to anyone who needs a nature reset.

#summervacay Looking for a walk that feels like a mix of history, nature, and total chill? Sangdang Sanseong in Cheongju is the spot. This fortress is huge, you can walk the full loop along the wall, and it’ll take a couple hours if you’re taking it easy. The old stone walls are super cool, and the views? Next level. You get mountains, forest, and even some cityscape along the way. The trail’s pretty friendly, some stairs and gentle climbs, but nothing too wild. You’ll pass hikers, families, and people just out for a casual stroll or picnic. Near the entrance, there are traditional buildings and a few cute cafes and snack spots if you need a recharge. It’s the kind of place where you can go for a light hike, soak in some Korean history, and still be back in time for lunch. Wear comfy shoes, bring water, and enjoy the vibe. It’s peaceful, photogenic, and way cooler than just another park walk.

#summervacay Honestly? We popped into the Cheongju National Museum just to escape the heat, but it turned out to be way cooler than expected (literally and figuratively). The building itself is super clean and modern, with blessed air conditioning and chill vibes all around. Inside, it’s a mix of old-school artifacts, pottery, and local history that’s actually kinda interesting even if you’re not a museum person. There’s English here and there, enough to get the gist without needing a guide. Plus, the layout’s easy to follow, and there’s lots of space so you’re not bumping into people every two steps. The highlight? A few really beautiful pieces that made us stop and go, “Oh dang, that’s cool.” Also, the outdoor area is peaceful and great for a breather. Not a massive museum, but perfect for a slow afternoon. Free entry too, which is always a win. Would recommend for an easy, culture-lite detour.

#summervacay If you ever find yourself in Cheongju with an hour to kill and zero interest in doing anything intense, Jungang Park is perfect. It’s like the city just casually left a patch of calm in the middle of everything, and we’re not mad about it. There’s this nice mix of history and hangout spots, think old statues, memorials, and random little corners where you can sit and do absolutely nothing (in the best way). A few locals were just chilling, chatting, or walking their dogs. It’s got that peaceful, no-rush energy. The shade from all the trees is a lifesaver on hot days, and there’s enough open space to people-watch or snack on something from a nearby convenience store. Not a destination park, but if you’re nearby? Totally worth a wander. Bonus: It’s super close to other little spots in the city, so you can just drop by without any planning. We weren’t expecting much, but ended up staying way longer than we thought. Low effort, high chill. Would stroll again.

#summervacay Checked out Cheongnamdae and ngl, it was way cooler than I expected. It used to be a secret retreat for Korean presidents, but now it’s open to the public, and yeah, it’s got that classy, “important stuff happened here” vibe, but also super peaceful and walkable. The grounds are huge, with lots of open space, perfectly trimmed trees, and scenic walking paths that wrap around Daecheong Lake. I just wandered with no real plan, and there was always something pretty or interesting to look at. Even the buildings have that low-key luxury feel without being over the top. There are some nice little lookout points too, where you can just chill and stare at the water. Great spot to bring a snack or just take a quiet moment. It’s not wild or adventurous, but it’s definitely a unique spot if you’re into peaceful places with a bit of history baked in. Super relaxing, super clean, and honestly just a really nice day out. Would recommend for a slow day trip.

#cherryblossom25 A great place to visit. Buso Damak, located in Chusori, Gunbuk-myeon, Okcheon-gun, has a beautiful scenery as part of the mountain was submerged in water due to the construction of Daecheong Dam. If you go up to the pavilion of Chusojeong, where you can see the spectacular view of Busodamak, you can only see the village across the street, the privately owned Mir Garden, and the long stretch of Busodamak, so it is hard to see.

#cherryblossom25 A great place to feel and experience the scent of Okcheon's history and culture, located in front of the birthplace of Mrs. Yuk Young-soo of Okcheon. It is also considered to be a good place for education for children and foreigners experiencing Korea for the first time. The buildings were large and well-organized, unbecoming of a small provincial town. It is a well-maintained parking spaces nearby, so I had no trouble parking at all.
