Information:
The Yonghyeon National Natural Recreation Forest is situated in the heart of Yonghyeon Valley, which lies between the ridges of Seongmunbong, Illaksan-Sangwangbong, and Ogyangbong-Sujeongbong peaks of the Gayasan Mountain, which sits 678 meters above sea level.
The forest boasts splendid natural landscape.
A hiking trail and loop trail through the forest are established along the ridges of the mountain and connected to the road leading to Seosan Farm, so hiking and walking are convenient and one can get a great view of the Yellow Sea in the distance.
The valley waters are particularly clean and clear, and the forest features dense groves of oak trees.
There are group accommodation facilities and forest education classes.
For an educational and cultural excursion, visitors can also learn about the later Baekje period in a nearby education facility.
