[ Travel to Goesan ]
Must-Visit Places in Goesan County
The refreshing season of early summer has arrived.
If you want to escape the busy urban life and enjoy a complete rest in untouched nature,
I highly recommend the Yeonhayeop Cloud Bridge, a representative attraction in Goesan, Chungbuk.
This place, where the beautiful scenery of Goesan Lake blends harmoniously, offers a liberating feeling that fills your heart just by walking.
As you reach the end of the beautiful Sanmaki Old Road along Goesan Lake or the entrance to Galon Valley,
a strikingly large structure comes into view.
This is the white main tower, a symbol of the Yeonhayeop Cloud Bridge.
The elegant arching main tower stretches towards the sky, giving a sense of grandeur even before crossing the bridge.
The Yeonhayeop Cloud Bridge is a pedestrian suspension bridge that spans the calm and deep green waves of Goesan Lake.
On one side stands a tall and magnificent straight main tower, while on the opposite side, an arching main tower boasts a soft curvature,
showing a contrasting yet balanced beauty.
The silhouette of the long bridge against the backdrop of green mountains captivates onlookers.
It also serves as the best viewpoint to capture the clear waters of Goesan Lake and the surrounding unique rock formations.
From a distance, watching people walk midway across the bridge reinforces the overwhelming scale of nature.
One of the best ways to fully enjoy the Yeonhayeop Cloud Bridge is to take memorable photos against the beautiful scenery.
At the entrance of the bridge, a lovely photo zone bench is set up for visitors.
The bench, made of wooden deck in a smooth curved shape, features the words "Yeonhayeop Cloud Bridge" in silver 3D letters on the railing behind it.
Sitting on this bench, you can capture a frame that includes the emerald waters of Goesan Lake, the arching main tower in the distance, and the blue mountains.
Now, it’s time to walk on the Yeonhayeop Cloud Bridge.
Standing at the entrance of the bridge and looking ahead, the long bridge opens up toward the opposite main tower.
The gentle sway typical of suspension bridges brings a subtle thrill and excitement.
With no obstructions on either side, the refreshing river breeze fills your lungs with a sense of openness.
Surrounding you are layers of mountain peaks embracing the lake,
making you fully understand why this place is called 'Cloud Bridge.'
You can enjoy a special feeling as if you are walking on water or clouds.
The Yeonhayeop Cloud Bridge is not just a place to cross a bridge.
It is connected to excellent trekking courses and tourism programs, enriching your travel experience.
As you cross the bridge and enter the surrounding walking trails, you will notice a charming purple mailbox structure.
This is the certification booth for the 'Chungbuk Lake Park Trail Stamp Tour.'
Traveling through the beautiful lakes and trails of Chungbuk while collecting stamps adds a fun element,
providing small joys for families traveling with children or trekking enthusiasts.
You can also find the sign for the 'Bride and Groom Trail,' one of the connecting walking paths.
This 4.32 km round trip path allows you to walk through lush forest paths while enjoying the splendid scenery of Goesan Lake.
You can plan your itinerary according to your preferences, from light walks to serious trekking, centered around the Yeonhayeop Cloud Bridge.
Underneath the bridge, cruise boats frequently glide across the calm waters of Goesan Lake, completing the peaceful scenery.
There is a dock nearby where you can use these cruise boats and motorboats.
From the bridge or the surrounding walking paths, you can see cruise boats creating white spray as they head towards the dock or venture out into the lake.
The dock features a large sign indicating the "Ticket Booth towards the Parking Lot" along with a clear fare list for boarding the ferry.
Detailed fares for adults and children are provided, allowing you to travel by boat to the Sanmaki Old Road parking lot or other docks.
The 70-passenger speedboat and an 11-passenger motorboat operate regularly, offering a different kind of enjoyment compared to walking.
Gliding through the middle of Goesan Lake, surrounded by high mountains, is a healing experience that fills your heart with joy.
The harmony of the deep blue lake and the endlessly stretching green mountains showcases the unique natural beauty of South Korea.
