Hello, this is Gyeongju Tourism!

In this season of cool breezes, the weather is gradually getting better, and the days are getting shorter.

Many people go trekking in the fall.

Gyeongju is a city where history and nature blend harmoniously, making it a great place for walking and enjoying a stroll.

If you especially enjoy trekking or a serene atmosphere, we highly recommend saving today's recommended destinations and visiting them!

Geoncheon Cypress Forest

A healing forest path that's comfortable even for beginners.

Address: 166-1 Songseon-ri, Geoncheon-eup, Gyeongju-si

The first place we recommend is Geoncheon Cypress Forest.

This place has well-maintained deck paths, making it easy for anyone to walk.

As you walk slowly along the path, the subtle scent of cypress spreads, making you feel at ease.

Even if you're not used to trekking, you can walk without difficulty, just like taking a stroll, making it a great recommendation for families and a popular spot for a light healing trip!

Namsan Seondeok Queen's Tomb, Neungji Pagoda Site

A path where history and forest harmonize.

Address: San 79-2, Bomun-dong / 621-3, Baeban-dong, Gyeongju-si

The second place we recommend is Namsan (Seondeok Queen's Tomb, Neungji Pagoda Site).

Seondeok Queen's Tomb is a meaningful place among Gyeongju's numerous cultural heritages.

Located on the southern peak of Namsan, this tomb can be reached along a pine forest path.

The slope is gentle, making it easy to walk with children, and the scent of pine accompanies you throughout the walk.

On the way back from the tomb, you can also visit the Neungji Pagoda Site, making it a popular travel course where you can experience history and nature at the same time.

Beyond simply walking, it will be a special trek where you can reflect on the history of Silla and the story of Queen Seondeok as you take each step.

Samneung Pine Forest

A walk in a sun-filled pine forest.

Address: San 73-1, Baedong, Gyeongju-si

The last place we recommend is Samneung Pine Forest.

It boasts beautiful scenery enough to be selected as one of the Eight Scenic Views of Hyeongsan River, and the sunlight shining through the pine trees is very impressive.

This is a great place to enjoy a light stroll or a short trek, and it's also a place where you can escape the city and take a deep breath of nature's air.

Walking along the open forest path clears your mind, and you feel like you're receiving a gift of leisurely time.

Especially on weekends, many people visit with family, friends, and lovers to enjoy healing, making it a popular forest path travel destination in Gyeongju.

A Special Time Given by Trekking in Gyeongju

If you want to make special plans this weekend,

walk the forest paths of Gyeongju!

With each step you take, the scenery unfolds like a painting, and the fatigue of everyday life will feel much lighter.
