Birch Forest

Hello~ Jutako's back! Welcome back all :)

I have been posting only about "Best Restaurants in Seoul, Korea" so far. From this posting, I would also like to take you guys to some of beautiful places in Korea. (Most likely suburban of Seoul city!) Most of tour for foreigners are just visiting few very famous places inside of Seoul... But I really think you can see "Real Beauty" of Korea, when you visit outside of Seoul. I totally understand how difficult for you to figure out where to visit! So here I am again! Today, we are going to visit Birch Forest in Inje, Gangwon-do.

Now it's white world!

First, shall we check where Inje, Gangwon-do is?

It's right top side in the Korean Peninsula.

Around 2-2.5 hours by car!

This place is famous for "Birch Forest." Especially during the winter, upside of hill is fully covered with snow and it is such a beautiful! One picture is worth a thousand words, right? Let me show you how it looks like!

From car parking lot

There was no snow on the road

but the mountain was covered with snow

Let's walk through snow!

Every singe angle was beautiful

Such a big pine tree

Now we are half through to reach to the Birch Forest

If you walk up around 1 hour, then you will be able to find Birch Forest in the upside of mountain. No pain, No gain! Let's walk a bit further :)

No more hill, from here flatland

Finally we are here, Birth Forest!

The Forest is not very big, but lucky to me there was not so many people there, so I could have very relaxing time in the white world. I visited the forest December 28th, which should be peak season of travel. So I guess this place is not YET very famous to people. Even better!

Can you see how tall the Birch trees are?

Hardly can tell which part is snow or birch trees, right? :)

After taking nice winter photos and cleaning my head with fresh air and beautiful scenery, I slowly went down the hill. On the way down, I could clearly see all the neighbor mountain :)

Let's go down the hill

Few things to remind you!

• Before going up to the hill, you should sign up your identity at the entrance of mountain, such as name and contact number. It's just to make sure who went through in this entrance and your safety as well.
• Make sure to bring climbing irons, an alpenstock, gloves and hat. And it's better to wear several clothes, instead of just wearing one very thick clothe. Why? So that you can take off some clothes, when you feel hot on the way up to the mountain.
