    The experience here was quite unique. Walking through the sky bridge you can see the top of the metasequoia trees. Good for family hiking.

    This is one of the first places I visited in Korea. My last visit was my third time there. It's always nice coming here and I'll definitely visit again in the middle of autumn. It was still very green towards the end of September.

    At least 4 hours car ride from Seoul to this beautiful nature site. There are suspension bridges surrounding limited areas of the park. These are helpful and guide tourists to visit the highlights of the park. Several cafes selling coffees, drinks, and snacks are available near the entrance and car parks. The air is super fresh. Beautiful place to spend the entire day.

    The trees and the road giving me the same vibes as the ones in Nami island! I enjoy the view very very much! It's wonderful! Everything is very beautiful. I did hike a little bit to one of the mountain top near the bridge. It might be tiring but it's worth my time and energy. The view is chef kiss✨

    In order to take pic on the rock, like very popular instagram photos, you need to park your car at 소형주자창, parking lot for small car then you can find stairs to go up. Do not go to the left to the bridge but you have to go up for about 10 to 15 mins. Keep going up until you find people taking photos. The way to go up is very steep. You need to wear comfortable shoes. But I saw a woman wearing shoes with 5cm heels! Well, It is your choice. But really, it is very dangerous to go up here without comfortable shoes. I went here yesterday, Nov 16th 2022. Many people were there but still can take proper pics. Now this forest is covered with orange red metasequoia trees. Maybe these trees can stand pretty at least until this weekend. Better hurry up!

    Beautiful park with easy trails. The trail gets steeper nearer to the summit

    I have visited this Forest Park numerous times and found it to be a wonderful day trip from central Daejeon. Bus 501 will take you right to the entrance. The sky walk provides an excellent bird's view of grand Meta Sequawa trees and the valley. There are also excellent trails up to Maninsan 537m and other nearby mountains. Advice...Do not get off the bus at the Maninsan Bus Stop. It is too early and you will have to walk uphill to the correct stop.

    Beautiful, fresh metasequoia forest with built-in skyroad and elevated peaks opening up breathing views. Nice walking and camping location❤

    Beautiful hike. You might want to skip the touristy places such as suspension bridge and spend more time for the trail. Easy trail, quite steeply sometimes but very peaceful and beautiful. Bring waters and some snacks with you and make sure you save at least 5 hours for going through the full trail.

    This place can get really crowded especially on weekends. Don't believe all the pictures you see on the internet showing nice and quiet spaces with virtually nobody around! The road leading in and out is narrow and cannot handle the traffic that builds up. My group was stuck in traffic for more than an hour trying to get into just the car park. By the time we got there it was close to sunset. : ( I had to rush up to the top. The one good thing is I manage to capture a few good sunset photos.

    It was lovely to walk around during autumn when all the leaves are yellow and red. Be prepared for a massive amount of people though. We went there in the evening but still got a spot to park the car. It's very well organised, with organisers guiding cars on where to go to park. It's totally free to park and enter the forest. There's also a few coffeeshops or food stands selling the average foodstuff found in South Korea. We did have to wait around an hour in traffic (literally all wanting to go there) but it was peak season, so understandable

    Very beautiful place! It's suitable even for hiking beginers because you have there many roads which are not that steep. But also people who really enjoy hiking and want to do something little bit more harder can enjoy this place. There's so many hills and all of them are very beautiful. You won't be disappointed! We hiked there in winter with snow and it was so amazing.

    A free to enter natural recreation forest that offers really beautiful views especially the nearby lush valleys in summer.

    An open view with Skyway and Suspension Bridge. The scenery is beautiful, and there is a place where you can feel the importance of nature. It is a place to visit in Daejeon to face nature. It is not an artificial beauty, but a refreshing feeling that shines with natural colors, which also seems to give lightness to the tired mind in the city center. Walkinto Korea - Korea Tourism

    Great views if you can hike to the peak. It is autumn so the trees are changing colour and it's beautiful. Went hiking on a trail a bit more challenging than the usual course, did not see anyone else there so perfect for "social distancing".

    This was a very leisurely hike. The mountain isn't very high, nor does it take very long to hike, but there are some pretty sites on the way up, a nice area to lounge around, and a few set ups for eating snack foods and picnicing with family and friends.
