A quick overview of Chungbuk's autumn travel destinations
Cheongnamdae is an unmissable destination when discussing Chungbuk's representative travel spots.
Located in Munui-myeon, Cheongju, Cheongnamdae was built in 1983 as a presidential retreat and opened to the public in 2003, now managed by the Chungbuk Cheongnamdae Management Office.
The main reason to recommend Cheongnamdae as a September travel destination is the variety of walking paths that allow you to enjoy both Daecheong Lake and the surrounding forest.
There are relatively easy walking courses like the Ogangjeong Trail, Solbaram Trail, and paths named after democracy and harmony, as well as lakeside paths to enjoy the views of Daecheong Lake up close.
In September, you can witness the gradual transition of autumn colors seeping through the lush greens of summer.
There are many great spots to pause and take in the scenery, like the 'Metafore' utilizing the Metasequoia forest and the Cheongnamdae Observatory, perfect for capturing photos.
While the vibrant colors of peak autumn are beautiful, if you prefer a quieter atmosphere to enjoy the views of Daecheong Lake and early autumn scenery, Cheongnamdae in September is a charming choice.
Midongsan Arboretum is a great place to feel the seasonal changes while walking along peaceful forest paths.
Located in Miwon-myeon, Cheongju, this arboretum, managed by the Chungbuk Forest Environment Research Institute, offers a variety of plants and forests to explore.
With themed gardens ranging from a gene preservation center to a natural monument garden, hydrangea garden, subtropical plant garden, Metasequoia garden, aquatic plant garden, oak garden, and maple garden, you can enjoy a leisurely stroll.
It also features a forest science museum and a wood culture experience center, making it a perfect family outing destination.
In September, when the forest still retains much of its green, you can experience the unique scenery where summer meets autumn.
If you want to enjoy a relaxed forest walk before the leaves reach their peak, consider Midongsan Arboretum as a travel destination.
Goesan Joryeongsan Natural Recreation Forest is also recommended if you want to delve deeper into the forest and feel the early autumn air.
This recreation forest, managed by the Chungbuk Forest Environment Research Institute, allows you to enjoy the dense forests and natural scenery of the Baekdudaegan Joryeong Mountain area.
A highlight here is the Yeonpungsaejae Old Road, a 1.5 km trail from the entrance of the recreation forest to Joryeong Gate 3, where you can encounter both history and nature.
As you slowly ascend along the path, you can enjoy the fresh air and the comforting atmosphere created by the dense trees.
If you prefer a quieter natural setting over crowded tourist spots, consider visiting these unique autumn destinations in Chungbuk.
In September, Chungbuk offers a special experience before the leaves change color.
While autumn travel often brings to mind the vibrant reds and yellows of the foliage, September has its own charm.
With trees still holding onto their green and forests gradually changing colors, along with the cooler breezes, you can leisurely enjoy the transition into full autumn.
Whether walking along the presidential path at Cheongnamdae while looking at Daecheong Lake, observing the changes in the forest at Midongsan Arboretum, or enjoying the tranquility of the valley at Jecheon Deokdong Ecological Forest, September is a great time to experience autumn in a relaxed atmosphere.
