Climbing Chilgapsan While Singing 'The Woman Weeding the Bean Field'

This is a trip to walk, on your own two feet, the Chilgapsan of the song 'Oh, woman weeding the bean field~.' Climbing up and down its low, gentle peaks at 561m above sea level, you can visit the thousand-year-old Janggoksa Temple, home to countless treasures, and Cheonjangho Lake, a picture-like lake cradled within Chilgapsan. Spend a night at Chilgapsan Recreational Forest, with its quiet trails and rest areas, and breathe in the pristine nature around you.
