Are you familiar with wellness travel destinations?
'Wellness' refers to an ideal state where physical, mental, and social health are in harmony. This concept emerged with the spread of the well-being trend after the year 2000.
The 'Excellent Wellness Tourism Destination' program is supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization, which selects and promotes domestic wellness tourism sites that combine health, tourism, and experience.
In Ulsan, the 'National Daewoon Mountain Healing Forest' has been re-designated as an 'Excellent Wellness Tourism Destination.'
Located in Ulju, the National Daewoon Mountain Healing Forest is a forest welfare facility designed to enhance human immunity and health by utilizing various elements of the forest, such as scenery and aromas.
The forest features paths like the fragrant grass path, healing wind path, and premium forest trail in the refreshing valleys of Daewoon Mountain.
It offers various forest healing activities, with trees like cypress, oak, mountain azalea, and raspberry planted throughout the area. Experience programs are also available, accommodating up to 40 people, and reservations can be made through the forest's website.
Experience programs range from one to two hours and are not free, costing around 10,000 won, varying by program. Activities include making cypress bracelets and aroma sprays, as well as new programs like clay crafts and wish tree decorations.
The facility also provides forest welfare services and allows group participation. Notably, it avoids using disposable items and uses washable towels, with most products made of wood.
The health promotion room is equipped with half-bath facilities. Visitors can relax and relieve fatigue while enjoying the view of lush greenery outside.
Inside, there are devices to measure health indicators, including stress levels and vascular health. Stress can manifest in various ways, including headaches, sleep disorders, and chronic fatigue.
Participants can conduct simple health checks and should seek medical attention if any issues arise.
Additionally, there are unique programs to create personalized goods using materials sourced from the forest, allowing visitors to gain inspiration from others' creations.
As a healing forest, visitors can enjoy walking and healing time, with programs that include guided walks and stretching exercises.
With well-maintained wooden decks, walking is pleasant even in hot weather due to the shade provided by the trees. Clear signage guides visitors along the paths, enhancing the experience.
This year has seen extreme heat, but as autumn approaches, the cool breeze in the mornings and evenings is refreshing. Why not participate in experience programs and take a walk in the National Daewoon Mountain Healing Forest, Ulsan's only designated excellent wellness tourism destination? Take time to relieve the fatigue accumulated in your daily life!
