2025 Taebaek-si Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

#flowerblossom #100waysoftravel Flower viewing is part of my hobby and this time, I traveled down to view the blossoming of sunflower. There is a vast field with tens of thousands of sunflower being planted at the flower bed, and the blossoming is peak at that time. You can see the vast yellow flower in the middle of Taebaek mountain which gives you a very nice scenery behind the scene. Besides, there are also wild cosmos beside the sunflowers and this adds more colours to the picture. Journey could be a bit far and hilly but it's worth the travel. Will definitely do this again.

The K-Alps of Korea located at 800m above sea level⛰️💚 Taebaek's Montorang Goat Ranch where you can run around with cute goats and enjoy a picnic🐐 You can also rent picnic supplies, and I had goat milk ice cream, which was delicious🍦✨ In addition to goats, you can interact with various animals such as dogs, rabbits, and geese, and it's also great to visit with children :) ⚠️The goats are gentle, but they have horns and are big, so be careful if you visit with young children ⚠️Be careful because they will all flock together if you carry a feeder 📍Montorang Goat Ranch @ 27-2, Hyoja 1-gil, Taebaek-si, Gangwon-do 🎫Admission 5,000/Feeding Experience 5,000 ⏰Mon-Fri 9:30-18:00/Sat-Sun 9:30-20:00 🚗Parking available 📸24.05.14 -------------------------------------------- 💌Follow @seovely._.20 for more travel information and get updates✨ #Jiyoon's Travel Pusher_Jeongseon #Jiyoon's Travel Pusher_Gangwon-do #Monttorang Mountain Sheep Ranch #Taebaek Travel #Taebaek #Jeongseon Travel

Unlike regular chicken ribs, the broth is literally homemade Taebaek, Gangwon-do, famous for its water chicken ribs! It is said that the coal mining workers added broth to the chicken ribs because they would get choked up and ate it, which became the current delicacy👍 I ate water chicken ribs that I used to eat only in Samcheok at the original Taebaek I had to wait a long time because it was dinner time but I didn't regret the taste! The original is different! If you go to Taebaek, be sure to stop by here🧡 - - 📍Taebaek chicken ribs 🧭10 Jungangnam 1-gil, Taebaek-si, Gangwon-do ⏰️10:00-21:00 #Exciting summer vacation #Taebaek travel

Gangwon-do Taebaek Montorang Sheep Ranch #TaebaekTravel #MontBlanc #Gangwon-doTravel #SummerTravel When you think of Gangwon-do sheep ranches, which one comes to mind the most? Most people visit Daegwallyeong, right? The place I visited this time is not as large as the sheep ranch, but it has a pretty ranch like Daegwallyeong! The difference from Daegwallyeong Sheep Ranch is that the sheep are free to roam around, so you can see them right up close. I think it would be good to visit Montorang Sheep Ranch after seeing the Guwagu sunflowers that I uploaded yesterday! ⏰Daily 9:30 - 21:00 🎫Ranch entrance fee 5,000 won 📍Gangwon-do Taebaek-si Hyoja 1-gil 27-2

#Heart-pounding summer vacation #Southeast Asian sensibility Just looking at it, who would know this is Taebaek? I couldn't imagine this scenery at all at the entrance, but the moment I entered the cafe, wow! Isn't this a resort? Just a cafe! And Taebaek on top of that🏝 The owner who created this small space in the cafe with such an emotional atmosphere is really amazing! As I entered the room while praising it, it was also pretty, pretty🩷 Why is there no place that isn't pretty here? I was amazed and took pictures and took pictures! A place where you can take a million pictures Taebaek Cafe Baekbeon-eui Bom🩷 - - 📍Baekbeon-eui Bom 🧭422 Taebaek-ro, Taebaek-si, Gangwon-do Baekbeon-eui Bom ⏰️12:30-20:30

#SnowflowerTravel Hambaeksan is a mountain in Taebaek, Gangwon-do. Although it is a high mountain, it is good because you can drive to the top of the mountain. If you want to climb to the top of the mountain without difficulty, you can park your car near the KBS transmission tower and climb up. There is always snow in the winter, so it is great for a snowflower trip. #Hambaeksan #Hiking

This year, the Taebaek Snow Flower Festival is being held for the first time in several years, so I recommend it as a good place for a winter trip with a bundle course. 🤍 It's not a regular sheep ranch, but a ranch on a steep hill where mountain goats live. The point is that it's so windy and cold! Some Busan people who went without gloves suffered from frostbite for a while. 😂 But if it snows the day before, you can see this beautiful snow-covered landscape, and you can also watch the goats graze. If it's cold, you can warm your body by drinking warm goat milk at a cafe, so it's perfect for a winter travel course🤍 - - 📍Monttorang Goat Ranch (Same for cafe use) ⏰️09:30-19:00 (10:00-16:00 recommended) 🚘Outdoor parking available on the first floor of the cafe building ℹ️Admission fee 5,000 won/There are various experiences such as cafe, sheep feeding, 1 night 2 days car camping, etc. ​ #Winter travel#Taebaek

1. Gumunso When you see it in person, it is a place where you can exclaim in amazement because of its mysterious atmosphere That is why I often visit this place every time I go there, and it is one of Taebaek's representative tourist attractions designated as a natural monument, so you should definitely visit it at least once! ℹ️The parking lot is well-maintained and it is not crowded, so it is easy to look around. 2. Taeseongsilbi Taebaek, famous for its briquette ribs. A place where you can eat high-quality Korean beef (galbisal) grilled with real briquettes at a slightly cheaper price. Eating special cuts here is not cheap, but it is real briquette fire, so it has the same atmosphere and taste as this place, so I visit it often! 🧭4 Gamcheon-ro, Taebaek-si, Gangwon-do ⏰️10:30-21:30

There is a cafe in Taebaek with a boss who is serious about drip coffee. His name is Ajusshi. A.J.C Cafe is that place! It is easy to access because it is near the filming location of Descendants of the Sun at Tongri Tantan Park. A coffee shop with a friendly boss and his wife that you will remember! - - 📍Ajusshi Cafe 🧭92 Tonggol-gil, Taebaek-si, Gangwon-do ⏰️11:00-21:00 (Regularly closed every month)

Since it was upgraded from a provincial park to a national park, it's been better maintained. Personally, I don't think Taebaeksan is that hard. I heard the Snow Festival is starting, so I'll visit^^ #Taebaeksan#SnowFlowerFestival

Address: 498-123 Dongjeom-dong, Taebaek-si, Gangwon-do Attraction: Gumunso Taebaek, with an average elevation of over 900m above sea level, is said to be the highest plateau city in Korea! They say it was forcibly dug by Japan during the Japanese colonial period! It was really amazing and beautiful😀 Since the fossils of living things are well preserved, it has high value as a geological science experience site, so many scholars and students visit to study! Currently, the commentary program has been suspended due to COVID-19, but I hope the Gumunso cultural commentary program will be resumed. The view from the top of the mountain behind the information center is also beautiful, so I recommend going up there! #Gangwon-do #Gangwon-do travel #Taebaek #Taebaek travel #Gumunso #Geological coastal road #Domestic travel destination #Hot place #Year-end travel #Life travel destination #Life shot spot #Next time here #With nature

The entire village has been recreated as a coal mining village 30 years ago, so I was able to feel the feeling of that time. When you cross the small river behind the building, there is a statue depicting the appearance of miners at that time. Across the street, there is a miner greeting his family and going to work! I remember the phrase, ‘Dad, be safe today’ that made me feel sad, so my heart was touched😭😭 #Gangwon-do #Gangwon-do travel #Taebaek #Cheoram Coal Mine History Village #Hot place #History #Domestic travel destination #Next time here

My mom loves hiking so much that I've been following her hiking latelyㅎㅎ I heard there was a lot of snow on Taebaeksan so I dressed warmly and went to see the snowy scenery. It was cold but really pretty🏞 I think hiking is the best way to see the snowy scenery👍 #Gangwon-do travel #Hiking #Taebaeksan #Mountain tour #Snowy scenery

In the summer, Taebaek's cool outdoor swimming pool is amazing. Taebaek Snow Flower Campground I went on a camping trip. If you come to Taebaek Snow Flower Campground in the summer, you can use the outdoor swimming pool as well, which is even better. It is spacious and has good facilities, and a foot volleyball court and a caravan meets various needs. The flower of camping, camping food I try a little bit of various foods deliciously. #TaebaekTravel #TaebaekSnowFlowerCampground #TaebaekCamping

We went on a caravan trip to Sodo Campground in Taebaeksan National Park. After listening to the explanation with the caravan key at the Sodo Campground Information Center, we went to the place where the caravan for one night is located. It is close to Taebaeksan and has a sky observatory nearby. Sodo Campground is built on a hill, and it is composed of a caravan-only campground/automobile campground/caravan and there is a convenience building (coin shower, separate waste collection area, toilet, dishwashing storage area) in the middle. There are two separate convenience buildings up and down the hill, so it is also advantageous to make the movement of campers up and down more convenient. It is a clean, cool, and enjoyable caravan trip. It is close to Taebaeksan and the Taebaeksan Sky Observatory. #Taebaekcamping #Taebaektravel #Sodo Campground

The photo spot of the Guwau Village birch forest is the Chomak Gogaldu parking lot. After looking at the pure white birch forest for a while, we have a delicious lunch at the Taebaek Gogaldu, a local restaurant in Taebaek. Taebaek Gogaldu is named after the first two letters of the name of the mackerel, gogalchi, and tofu. The Chomak Gogaldu mackerel stew is delicious, and the radish greens inside are delicious the more you chew them, making them a rice thief. 💫Location: The entrance to Guwau Village 304 Baekdudaegan-ro, Taebaek-si, Gangwon-do #TaebaekRestaurant #TaebaekTravel #GuwauVillage

Green Antler Hill Cafe is a unique spot where you can freely observe deer. The charming and unusual scenery of deer poking their heads out along the walking trails is a delightful experience. This Taebaek cafe is popular among families and children alike. The spacious seating arrangement and large windows create an open and airy atmosphere, perfect for enjoying the view. A variety of drinks and baked goods are available.

If you want to enjoy coffee and sandwiches in downtown Taebaek, Cafe Olive is a good place to visit. The drinks & bakery menu is diverse, so you can choose from a wide range of options depending on your taste. The ciabatta sandwich is a popular menu item because it is full and fresh. The coffee aroma is also good. #Emotional cafe #Taebaek cafe #Taebaek famous restaurant

#summervacay Deokhangsan in Samcheok? Lowkey one of the nicest surprises I’ve had hiking. It’s not super hyped like some of the big-name mountains, but that’s kinda what makes it awesome. The trail feels like you’re walking through a forest straight out of a Ghibli movie, quiet, green, and super peaceful. The climb isn’t too intense, just steady enough to make you feel like you earned your lunch. Lots of shade, birds chirping, and zero stress. I barely saw other people, which made it feel even more like a secret escape. The summit view is solid, not super dramatic, but wide open and calm. You can see the surrounding hills and catch some sea breeze if you’re lucky. Great spot to just sit, breathe, and snack. If you’re ever in Samcheok and want a chill hike with a cozy nature vibe, Deokhangsan hits. Not flashy, but totally refreshing. Bring water, your favorite trail snacks, and good playlist. You’ll leave feeling brand new.

Bakewood, a cafe in Taebaek that gives you a warm feeling with its wooden decor. The interior is stylish, and there is a variety of bakery items that pair perfectly with coffee. The cafe also displays and sells cute accessories, clothing, kitchenware, and more, making it a great place to browse while enjoying your coffee.

#summervacay Hambaeksan might not be the most hyped mountain in Korea, but honestly? It delivers. The trail’s got that steady incline energy, not brutal, but definitely enough to remind you that, yeah, hiking is exercise. But the real star here? The ridge. Once you’re up there, it’s this wide-open, wind-swept path that feels like you’re walking on top of the world. No trees blocking the view, just endless sky, rolling hills, and maybe some dramatic clouds doing their thing. I went in summer and the wildflowers were thriving, total meadowcore vibes. It’s not too crowded either, which is a blessing. Just you, a few other hikers, and the sound of the wind making you feel all introspective and peaceful. Pack a windbreaker though, it gets breezy at the top, and your sweaty self will thank you. All in all? Hambaeksan is low-key iconic. Good workout, amazing views, and just the right amount of challenge. Would 100% hike it again, sore legs and all.
