Tonggosan National Recreational Forest (국립 통고산자연휴양림) - Sightseeing

Explanation

Situated in the upper Bulyeongsa Valley, Tonggosan National Recreational Frorest, rarely visited by people in the past, still preserves much of its ancient beauty. Weathered white granite envelops the valley while a variety of waterfalls forms what looks like uniquely shaped water pots.

Next to the valley is Bulyeongsa Temple built by Monk Uisang (during the reign of King Jindeok of the Silla Period). Visitors can enjoy beautiful fall foliage of the forest, and there are a variety of nearby attractions from Bulyeongsa Valley, beaches on the East Coast, and Deokgu/Baekam Hot Springs. Fall foliage tends to peak between October 10th and October 20th.

Visitors must bring their own tents, utensils, toiletries, and other necessary items. The cafeteria in Tonggosan National Recreational Forest opens between mid-July and August.
