Godaesan Natural Recreation Forest, located in Yeoncheon, is a forest trail that transforms into a landscape painting in the fall. The tranquil mountain range and the red autumn leaves create a scene that inspires admiration throughout your walk. Situated on the slopes of Mount Godaesan, 832m above sea level, this recreation forest has the optimal environment for enjoying forest bathing. The atmosphere of the forest, created by the sunlight and wind seeping through the trees, is the best comfort nature can offer.
Thanks to the dense broad-leaved forest, the colors of the autumn foliage feel even richer. As you slowly climb the wooden stairs, you will walk on a forest path covered with fallen leaves. The forest path is well maintained, so anyone can climb it without difficulty, and there are shelters and observatories in between, making it a perfect place to sit and feel nature. This is why it is also popular with families with children.
In particular, Godaesan in the morning adds a mysterious atmosphere with a slight fog. The feeling of starting the day in nature is a special experience that you cannot easily encounter in everyday life. If you want to find true ‘rest’ in a quiet forest away from the crowds in the deepening autumn, we recommend Godaesan Natural Recreation Forest.

The National Yangpyeong Healing Forest in Yangpyeong is a special forest trail with the theme of ‘healing’, as the name suggests. It is a place that provides various natural healing programs that go beyond simple walks to restore your body and mind. In November, the forest here is filled with the deep emotions of autumn as the red autumn leaves and yellow ginkgo leaves dye each other. Surrounded by nature on all sides, you can feel a completely different air and atmosphere from the city.
The trails are relatively gently sloped, so there is no difficulty in walking, and there are forest bathing decks and meditation shelters in various places. As you walk, you will find yourself slowly breathing in and out. Opening your senses in the clear air of Yangpyeong and listening to the rhythm of nature, you will feel as if the stress that has accumulated is slowly disappearing.
In particular, in the fall, the temperature and sunlight of the forest are perfect for walking, so you can stay comfortable throughout your walk. This forest trail is a great place for those who want to put their minds at ease and focus on themselves, or for those who want to slow down the pace of their lives for a while. This place, where healing and nature come together, is a true healing path where you can look back on yourself while looking at the autumn leaves.

Cheongpyeong Natural Recreation Forest in Gapyeong gives you the illusion of stepping into a fairy tale during the peak of autumn foliage. The forest path that leads from the entrance of the recreation forest is lined with a tunnel of colorful autumn leaves, making it impossible for walkers to stop admiring it. The size of the forest is not large, but the atmosphere it contains is quite deep. In particular, in the early morning, the autumn mist rising from inside the forest creates a mysterious landscape.
Cheongpyeong Natural Recreation Forest also operates a forest interpretation program, so you can take a walk while understanding nature more deeply. As you slowly walk through the phytoncide-filled forest, even the smell that touches the tip of your nose feels clear. The sunlight shining through the trees, the fallen leaves swaying in the wind, and the quiet footsteps walking beneath them create an atmosphere where even time seems to flow slowly.
The wooden benches and shelters in the forest are perfect places to stop and have a cup of coffee. For those who want to walk at their own pace with the autumn leaves at the end of the season, this quiet forest path will be a memorable experience. If you want to enjoy the autumn foliage in a quiet place in Gyeonggi Province, Cheongpyeong Natural Recreation Forest is the perfect place for you.

Gureumsan Forest Bathing Area in Gwangmyeong is like a hidden gem of an autumn forest in the city. Thanks to the low mountain range and well-maintained forest trails, anyone can easily access it, and it is constantly loved as a walking course by nearby residents. In particular, in November, a path of fallen leaves filled with brown and yellow colors unfolds, giving you the feeling of walking through a scene from a movie. There is no better place to fully enjoy the autumn foliage near the city.
There are various walking trails in the forest bathing area, so you can take a light walk or take a slightly longer course to explore the forest. The entire forest is mainly composed of broad-leaved trees, so the colors of the autumn foliage are distinct and rich. As you walk, the stone stairs or wooden bridges placed throughout create a rhythm in the forest path, helping you to enjoy the forest without getting bored. On a clear day, the scenery of the sky and autumn leaves harmonizing is very beautiful.
Gureumsan Forest Bathing Area is a space that is more suitable for those who want to walk quietly, contemplate, and feel the season, rather than a complex tourist destination. It is a place where you can fully accept the autumn language conveyed by wildflowers, trees, wind, and fallen leaves. If you want to feel the deep autumn with your whole body in the suburbs of the city, now that the autumn foliage is at its peak, we recommend this place.
