   Jangtaesan Natural Recreation Forest

   장태산자연휴양림

   Covering an area of 815,855㎡ with a daily capacity of 6,000 visitors, this recreation forest is famous for its dense metasequoia woods — the only such forest in Korea, planted since the 1970s — offering an exotic landscape that draws many families for forest bathing. Jangtaesan was the first recreation forest in the country to be built and operated by a private individual, but it was taken over by Daejeon Metropolitan City in February 2002, newly rebuilt, and reopened to the public on April 25, 2006.
