Onbit Natural Recreation Forest: A Last Glimpse of Autumn Colors
The last of the year's best maple viewing spot:
Onbit Natural Recreation Forest
311-6 Hansamcheon-ri, Beolgok-myeon, Nonsan-si, Chungcheongnam-do
These days, Chungcheongnam-do is beautifully colored with the last light of autumn. Among these spots, Nonsan's Onbit Natural Recreation Forest is brimming with late autumn vibes.
Located in Beolgok-myeon, Nonsan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, Onbit Natural Recreation Forest is at the peak of its fall foliage, attracting many visitors.
Although Onbit Natural Recreation Forest is privately owned, it is open to the public free of charge throughout the year, making it accessible to everyone.
There is no admission fee, and it's always open, so you can visit comfortably whenever the seasons change and enjoy nature.
The restrooms are well-maintained, and the paths are flat, making it easy to walk with children or the elderly.
Strollers and wheelchairs are also accessible, making it a particularly good outing destination for families.
A leisurely tour of Onbit Natural Recreation Forest takes about 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes to walk the entire area.
Most of the trails are dirt paths, making them easy to walk, and the sunlight shining through the trees is so beautiful that you'll feel good throughout your walk.
Onbit Natural Recreation Forest offers free parking from the entrance, and there is plenty of space, so you can park without much difficulty even on weekends. After parking, the main photo zones are within walking distance, and if you park in the parking lot right in front, you can arrive in about 5 minutes on foot, making it easily accessible. However, on weekends, there are many visitors, so you may have to park a little further away, in which case you will have to walk for about 10 to 15 minutes. The parking lot has a fast turnover rate, so spaces become available from time to time, so if you are visiting with children, it is recommended to slowly enter the parking lot.
From the moment you enter the forest, you can't help but exclaim.
Red, orange, and yellow are mixed together, giving you the feeling of being right in the middle of autumn.
The colors are rich and each tree has a different light, making every spot a great photo opportunity.
There are benches everywhere, so you can take a break in between and enjoy the autumn slowly.
Every time the wind blows, the fallen leaves fall, creating a scene like a scene from a movie.
One of the most popular photo zones here is the Metasequoia Forest Path.
The trees that soar high into the sky are lined up in a long row, and these days, when it is at its peak, this place is dyed red, and the colors are so rich and deep that they cannot be captured in photos.
Another attraction is the lake and the yellow wooden building photo zone. This place is well known as a filming location for dramas and entertainment shows, so many visitors come here, and when you actually see it, you can immediately understand why it was used as a filming location.
When the lake waves are calm, the yellow building and autumn foliage are reflected as they are, creating a truly picturesque landscape.
The day I visited was a little cloudy, but the colors were even more calm and beautiful.
I heard that the reflection is clearer in the afternoon when the sunlight is good, so please keep that in mind.
If you go down to the waterfront, there is a representative photo zone where people take the most pictures. This place is especially famous, but in fact, Onbit Natural Recreation Forest is a great place to take pictures of picturesque scenery no matter where you stand and point your camera. The autumn foliage seen across the lake, the changing colors reflected in the calm waves, and the atmosphere of the surrounding forest all blend together harmoniously, creating a series of scenes that make you stop in your tracks.
Various sculptures also catch your eye along the walking path. The sculptures located between the autumn leaves and trees blend naturally with the scenery, making it fun to stop and look at them while taking a walk. You'll feel like you're enjoying a small exhibition throughout your walk.
There is no permanently open store inside the recreation forest, so it is a good idea to bring simple snacks or water in advance. As it is private land, it is also necessary to take your trash with you.
The autumn foliage is currently at its peak, and even if the wind blows a little, a lot of fallen leaves fall, so it seemed like it would gradually change to a less satisfying appearance after this week.
If you want to properly experience the late autumn scenery in Chungcheongnam-do, I think now is the best time. This is a place I would definitely recommend to those who want to see the last scene of autumn.
Onbit Natural Recreation Forest is not a lavishly decorated tourist destination, but a place that comfortably shows nature as it is. It is a place that moves people's hearts with just the forest, the lake, and the changing seasons. Onbit Natural Recreation Forest is a very good choice for those looking for a quiet autumn walk in Chungcheongnam-do.
