Hands-on Activities in Yecheon and a Cup of Makgeolli at the Last Remaining Tavern...

A hands-on travel experience in Yecheon offers archery experiences at the international archery field, visits to the insect ecology hall and history hall at the Insect Ecology Center, and above all, the chance to enjoy a glass of makgeolli (unrefined rice wine) at Yecheon's last remaining traditional tavern. The tavern was operated by its elderly proprietress until 2006, but it has recently been restored so that a new hostess welcomes guests today. You will be able to truly experience the nostalgic atmosphere of the old days.

   Yecheon Samgang Jumak Tavern

   예천 삼강주막

   Samgang Jumak is a building that served to relieve the hunger of travelers at Samgang Ferry, provided lodging and meals for peddlers, and was sometimes used as a scenic retreat for poets and scholars. Built around 1900, this tavern is small in scale, but its concentrated floor plan faithfully fulfilled its functions, giving it great rare value as architectural history material and holding local historical and cultural significance that reflects the spirit of the past. Unfortunately, after Grandma Yu Ok-yeon, who shared its long history as the proprietress, passed away in 2006, the place was left neglected. However, in 2007, it was restored to its original state with a budget of 150 million KRW, and today a new hostess welcomes visitors. MoreLess
