Enjoying Nature and Dynamic Leisure Sports

Chungbuk holds dynamic fun within its quiet natural beauty. Cases in point are the paragliding experiences of Danyang and Jecheon, which have become meccas of air sports, and the rowing center in Chungju, which hosted the 2013 Chungju World Rowing Championships. This is undoubtedly a destination to get your heart racing.Source: Chungcheong, More Charming the Longer You Stay

1. 1
   Dodam Sambong (Three Peaks)

   도담삼봉

   Dodam Sambong, located in the middle of the South Han River where clear, blue water flows serenely. Three peaks rise from the water: the stately Janggunbong (Husband Peak) in the center, the coquettish Cheopbong (Concubine/Daughter Peak) to its left, and the modestly turned-away Cheobong (Wife/Son Peak) to its right. It is said that Jeong Do-jeon, a founding meritorious subject of Joseon, spent so much of his youth enjoying this place that he took 'Sambong' (Three Peaks) as his pen name. \nMoreLess

   Lunch (Jangdari Restaurant)

   점심식사(장다리식당)

   This restaurant's set meal is notable for cooking rice together with garlic, a local specialty. The rice is only started once you order, so it comes fresh. It might seem like it would smell strong, but because the garlic is cooked, its soft, mellow flavor blends with the sweetness of the jujubes cooked in with it to give a distinctive taste. The side dishes served alongside—doenjang jjigae, grilled tofu, and all the other banchan—also go well with the rice.\nMoreLess
