777 Cheongtaesan-ro, Dunnae-myeon, Hoengseong-gun, Gangwon-do
A travelogue filled with the autumn scenery of Hoengseong!
This is a review of a day trip to Hoengseong, supported by the Hoengseong Tourism Council, under the theme of "Hoengseong-ness." It was a trip full of experiences in an autumn that was especially beautiful with its greenery! A Hoengseong trip perfect for a lighthearted getaway! Let me introduce it to you, step by step.
Hoengseong, a Gangwon-do travel destination reachable within 2 hours from Seoul! What comes to mind first when you think of Hoengseong? Hoengseong Hanwoo (Korean beef)? Hoengseong Luge? This Hoengseong trip, themed "Hoengseong-ness," started from the idea of finding something beyond the typical tourist spots. This trip, filled with various experiences unique to Hoengseong, was especially meaningful to me.
National Hoengseong Forest Center - Healing Meditation
The first course of "Hoengseong-ness" is healing meditation at the National Hoengseong Forest Center. A meditation session in a forest covered in lush greenery! It was a course I was really looking forward to.
Many people were walking along the healing forest path. I remembered my previous visit when I enjoyed yoga, foot baths, and forest bathing. Today, I'm participating in the healing meditation program.
The tranquility of the forest was wonderful. Just walking was a healing experience. I had to walk further down from the entrance to reach the healing meditation area. Fortunately, the instructor was there to greet me. I moved to the experience area with the instructor's guidance.
When I arrived at the place where the healing meditation program was held, everything was prepared. I sat in a spot I liked and waited for a moment. I took off my bag and coat and sat on the mat.
The tools needed for meditation were set up. The cozy sound, which seemed to relax my body just by listening to it, was wonderful.
I took a stress level test while looking at the booklet in front of me. I've been busy lately, and my stress level was a bit higher than I thought. I decided to leave it all behind here and immerse myself in meditation.
Following the instructor's instructions, I slowly breathed and fell into meditation. My mind was cluttered with things to do and things to take care of, but having this time, even for a little while, made me feel much more comfortable. I felt relieved thinking that I would slowly tackle each task and untangle the complicated things.
There was a strangely shaped massage tool, and it was surprisingly effective. It was much more refreshing than I expected. Massaging from head to toe and loosening the tense muscles made me feel much better.
Taegisan Morning Birdsong - Hanwoo Bulgogi Jeongol (Hot Pot)
It's been a while since I visited this restaurant. I loved the chef's cooking skills last time, and I was happy to visit again.
Since I came to Hoengseong, I had to eat Hanwoo, right? A Hanwoo bulgogi set meal was served. From the side dishes that made my mouth water just by looking at them to the Hanwoo bulgogi filling the hot pot! It was a rice thief. All the neatly presented side dishes were delicious, and especially, the chef's generosity remained the same.
Adequate Day Workshop - Ceramic Key Ring Making
This place is called Adequate Day, which has a cafe, workshop, and souvenir shop. Today, I had a ceramic key ring making experience here. The atmosphere was great because there was also a cafe. I went up to the attic and took some pictures for a while. It was exactly my style.
The materials for making ceramic key rings were set up on the table. After writing down the address to receive it by 택배 later, I started making it.
I'm not originally good at making things, so I was a little scared, but with the teacher's help, it took shape. I made a cute cat shape and my initial K. I'm really looking forward to seeing what it will look like when it's finished.
The smell of baking bread was so good that I ordered some. I shared the bread with close friends who were working at the same table. When I ordered bread, they gave me jam, and I was surprised to hear that it was made with paprika. It was sweet and delicious and went well with the bread.
Luge Experience - Riding the Luge
The next course is the luge experience. Luge, a representative exciting course that comes to mind when you think of Hoengseong, is a must-try. After wearing a helmet at the entrance, you can take a bus or cart to the boarding area. We took a cart this time, and it was even better because we could feel the cool breeze.
After completing all the preparations, I listened to the safety rules and operating methods. I rode in the front without fear. So it was nice to be able to ride more thrillingly. Above all, safety is the top priority, so I rode safely. Since it is a course made using the old road, it is said to be the longest course in Korea. I was able to enjoy the surrounding scenery and a certain amount of speed.
Chacha Meomum - Fabric Refresher Making Experience
The last course was a perfume workshop called Chacha Meomum. Today, I decided to make a fabric refresher instead of perfume. I have experience making perfume several times, but a fabric refresher... It was better than expected.
Each person smells the fragrances they like. And mix the fragrances in the right ratio. This process was very interesting and fun. Since everyone has different tastes, the fragrances they like were also different. I like citrus scents, so this time I made a citrus-based fabric refresher.
After mixing the fragrances and putting them in a bottle, they even labeled it beautifully. The emotional fabric refresher of 까칠갱이, made with my blog name, is finally completed.
A day trip, but a Hoengseong experience trip full of joy!
It would be nice to have a fun experience with your family during the upcoming Chuseok holiday, eat delicious Hanwoo, and spend a happy time in Hoengseong.
