Explanation
Ganhyeon Tourist Area, which is located 18 kilometers to the west of the city of Wonju, is seated where the Seomgang River and Samsancheon Stream, which are branches of the Namhangang River, come together and meet. 40- to 50-meter-high uniquely-shaped rocks and cliffs on both sides of the river form harmony with thickly wooded forests and the dark blue-colored river, and a vast white sandy beach stretches on the sides of the river to complete the fabulous scenery of the area. The river water is clean and the sandy beach is open and extensive, which makes it a popular summer vacation spot for those who like to play in the water.
* Things to enjoy in Ganhyeon Tourist Area *
Ganhyeon Rock located on the opposite side of the tourist area now has 37 rocky paths where people can enjoy rock climbing. Frequently changing flows and depths of the water potentially pose a great safety risk so visitors must be extremely careful when playing in the water. It should be noted that camping, cooking, campfires, fishing, etc., in or by the water are strictly prohibited. It takes approx. 1 hour 20 minutes for a round trip on Sogeumsan Suspension Bridge, which is located by the entrance of the mountain trail within the Ganhyeon Tourist Area, and the bridge boasts the greatest length and largest scale (100 meters high, 200 meters long, 1.5 meters wide) among all mountain walkway bridges in Korea. To provide visitors with an exhilarating experience, the floor of the bridge is made of specially manufactured steel grating, which enables those who walk over the bridge to enjoy the thrill.
