Muju Hyangro Mountain Natural Recreation Forest,

A Healing Forest Trip Like a Walk in Your Backyard

It was 6 PM on a weekend evening. As the sun began to set, I quietly got into the car after leaving Dwitseom in Muju-gun, Jeollabuk-do.

It wasn't a long trip. For us living in Muju, it's just a space like a 'walk in our backyard'.

Because it was a small outing to Hyangro Mountain Natural Recreation Forest.

📍 Muju Hyangro Mountain Natural Recreation Forest Location & Accessibility

📍Address: 153-36 Muhak-ro, Muju-eup, Muju-gun, Jeollabuk-do

📍10 minutes by car from Muju County Office

📍Easy access from other regions like Seoul and Busan via highway/national road

📍Public Transportation: Take a taxi after getting off at Muju Public Bus Terminal (approx. 10 minutes)

📍 The Story of the Forest Begins from the Entrance of Hyangro Mountain Natural Recreation Forest

On weekends, the forest is lively with people from the city, families heading to the campsite with their carriers, and the laughter of young people. This place is neat and quiet from the entrance. From the parking lot, the forest's first greeting calms the mind.

The moment you open the car door, the scent of grass and the sounds of nature carried by the breeze announce the start of the trip.

The sunset was so beautiful that I couldn't capture it all in photos.

The cool stream of water flowing down the artificial waterfall felt like a song of nature.

✔️ Ample parking space (near the visitor center, Eunhabit Recreation Center, and Forest Market)

⏰ Recommend visiting early during peak season

✔️ Resting areas with benches and shade under trees

📍 Swimming Pool, Monorail, and the Quiet Evening Forest Path

👩‍⚕️ Swimming Pool Hours: 10:00~17:30 (50 minutes of use + 10 minutes of rest)

📍 Fee: Adults 5,000 won / Teenagers & Soldiers 4,000 won / Children 3,000 won

📍 Monorail: Purchase tickets next to the Forest Market, operates from 10:00~16:30

Hyangro Mountain Natural Recreation Forest has various attractions, including an outdoor swimming pool, a monorail, and a forest trail.

During the evening when we visited, the swimming pool was quietly finishing its day.

At that time, when there wasn't a single breeze on the water, the tidy chairs and parasols reminded me of the busyness of the day.

The popular monorail slowly heads to the observatory along the forest.

Throughout the ascent, you can see the mountains and fields of Muju and even the distant rivers at a glance.

It is a gift of nature that washes away the fatigue of the city.

📍 Walking Paths and Resting Areas, and a Small Restaurant in the Forest Village

After enjoying swimming and the monorail, a walk in the forest path is perfect.

Small benches and resting areas are provided everywhere, making it a great place to relax and feel nature.

Simple meals are also available at the Forest Village restaurant.

On a summer evening, as the campsite quietly finishes its day, the wind blows softly as if to cool down the heat of the day.

Sitting on a bench while feeling that wind, I could feel 'rest' from the depths of my heart.

📍 Unique Accommodations Hidden in Nature

Hyangro Mountain Natural Recreation Forest has unique forest accommodations such as 'Forest Tree House', 'Cave House', and 'Mirror House' hidden away.

There are various options available, from tree houses floating in the air that children will love to emotional accommodations that blend in with nature.

📍 I recommend Muju Hyangro Mountain Natural Recreation Forest to these people!

✔️ Those who need healing away from the daily life in the city

✔️ Families with children looking for a children's water play area

✔️ Those who want to enjoy forest walks and monorails in nature

✔️ Travelers who want to truly experience the nature of Muju

📍 Hyangro Mountain Natural Recreation Forest Visiting Tips

✔️ It is crowded on weekends and peak season, so it is recommended to visit early

✔️ Swimming pool waiting time can be up to 1 hour during peak season, so buy snacks in advance

✔️ Participate in a clean usage culture with an attitude of protecting nature

✔️ It is recommended to enjoy slowly rather than a rushed schedule

Hyangro Mountain Natural Recreation Forest is a forest for everyday life for the people of Muju and a resting place for outsiders.

If you need a day of quiet comfort and deep breathing from nature, just lightly take a walk into this forest 🙂
