Geumgang Park is the perfect place for nature enthusiasts with breathtaking landscape views and tranquil surroundings. The park houses various walking trails and picnic areas that provide a serene escape from the busy city life. The park is home to the famous Geumgang Suspension Bridge, stretching 327m long and offering visitors stunning views of the surrounding lakes, gardens and mountains. Visitors can rent bicycles and tour the park, or can rest and rejuvenate at the nearby hot springs.
Gyejoksan is a beautiful mountain located in the heart of the country, and it is a famous place among hikers and nature lovers. The mountain takes about six hours for a round trip hike, which includes beautiful views of rivers, cliffs, and waterfalls. For those looking for a less strenuous hike, there are various shorter trails around the mountain that offer equally scenic views. The mountain also features a picturesque temple located on the side of a cliff. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery and rejuvenate amid the tranquil atmosphere of the mountain.
For those who have more time, visiting the Jangtaesan Recreational Forest would be a great addition to the itinerary. The forest is a 40-minute drive from Mansori, offering a wide range of outdoor activities, including hiking, fishing, and camping. However, for those with less time, it is recommended to choose either Geumgang Park or Gyejoksan, based on their preference for a leisurely or strenuous hike.
