Trouts House is a unique establishment that combines a trout hoetjib with a trout farm. They meticulously maintain an optimal environment for trout farming, which yields fish with a chewy texture, free from any fishy aftertaste, and characterized by a delicate, clean flavor. The restaurant offers various trout dishes for guests to enjoy. Options include muchim where trout is mixed with vegetables, soybean powder, sesame oil, and minced garlic, and deopbap, where trout is served over rice. In addition to songeo hoe (sliced raw trout), their menu also features songeo gui (grilled trout), songeo twigim (deep-fried trout), and a dish with thistle rice.

Maguryeong Pass and Gochiryeong Pass stand as iconic hills of Sobaeksan Mountain. They are known for their historical significance as rugged pathways where people and goods traversed during the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties. Situated on the easternmost edge of Sobaeksan Mountain, Maguryeong Pass derives its name from its function: "Magu" meaning "harness" and "Ryeong" meaning "pass" in Korean, highlighting its past as a route where merchants commonly traveled on horseback. Meanwhile, Gochiryeong Pass served as a vital transport link to the Gwandong and Hoseo regions. In the Silla dynasty, this pass was earmarked for palace construction at the base of the hill, which led to its name "Gochiryeong" – "Go" indicating "old", "Chi" representing "hill", and "Ryeong" meaning "pass" in Korean – effectively translating to "old hill pass".
